The Blair Badenhop Show 217: Leading with Fearless Authenticity with Africa Brooke
Africa Brooke is a globally recognized consultant, mentor, speaker, and writer who specializes in helping people in and out of the public eye move through self-censorship, and other forms of self-sabotage.
Her work takes a close look at the complexity, mess, and glory that is the human experience, and she makes a strong case for why we need to accept discomfort as an essential part of the growth process.
Oh my goodness, I could not be more excited to have this incredible woman on the show. I came across Africa and her work back in 2020 - and was instantly drawn to her message and position on authentic self-expression.
Her posts on Instagram have resonated with me deeply ever since, and having her on the show is a dream of mine.
If you don’t already follow her work, do it immediately - her IG handle is @africabrooke.
She is such a powerful, kind, brilliant leader, and I can’t wait for you to sink into our conversation today.
In this episode, we chat about:
- how her sobriety journey awakened her to a passion for researching and understanding self-sabotage, and ultimately led her to become a mentor and coach who specializes in freeing people from it,
- what it looked like for her to start taking on clients in the very beginning and how her company steadily grew into what she does full time
- why 2020 was the year she both solidified her message and strengthened her voice - all of which helped her business explode with growth
- how she became so anchored in herself and her truth and why it has given her a deep confidence to speak about big political and social topics
- her biggest recommendations for how to avoid self-censorship and self-sabotage in your own business - and how doing so ultimately empowers you to make your unique mark
- the structure and spaciousness she has created in her life to avoid burnout and allow play, relationships, and health be the top priority
- and so much more!
