Social media satire, women of colour in wellness & three ways to good enough with Giselle La Pompe-Moore

Giselle La Pompe-Moore is an inspirational author who writes about how to live a successful, hustle-free life, often with a side order of brilliantly blunt social media commentary.

For this conversation Gigi tells Melanie how she achieved her dream career only to find it wasn’t what she wanted. Then shares how that realisation informed her excellent book, Take It In, a handbook for finding everyday happiness and living your best life.

Gigi shares her experience as a woman of colour in her career and her mission to bring more black women and men into the wellbeing space.  

She talks openly about her MS diagnosis, and experience of sexual assault, and the inner work she’s done to heal, sharing what she has learned with us.

Gigi’s enoughness gem is gold standard - three easy ways to stay firmly in our good enough, every single day.
