Liberation Requires Human Connection with Simone Heng

Welcome to The Liberated Woman Podcast, today as you will hear or see I am full of glee as I am talking to my dear friend, Simone Heng. If you are listening you may be able to hear that I am smiling as I'm speaking. Simone is one of the most radiant, confident and caring women I know. She’s a powerful world renowned keynote speaker, human connection specialist and award winning author. 

Simone shares her journey from broadcast media to becoming a human connection specialist. We discuss the importance of believing in yourself, the role of cultural conditioning, and how women are conditioned to be in competition with each other. 

Simone highlights the transformation that occurs when we shift from competition to ambition, and how this allows us to support each other’s growth. 

We also talk about the loneliness epidemic and how toxic productivity affects high-achieving women, emphasising the need for self-connection and authentic relationships.
