Suzy Ashworth honours Tessa Sanderson CBE.
In today's podcast takeover Suzy Ashworth celebrates Tessa Sanderson’s commitment to being the best and her capacity to give the best.
Suzy is a real one she doesn’t throw glitter on shit. At one point in this episode she used some strong language and it is totally it is necessary. You guys know I swear and I braced myself as I heard Suzy's words as it activated trauma from experiencing what she described. This is why this project is here. It is not to gloss over the wickedness black people have endured but I believed that at some point we need to acknowledge the shit and then alchemise it. If we stay in trauma we only have trauma. Our ancestors and elders didn’t endure for us to live in trauma.
In terms of wellness Suzy shares that she is inspired by Tessa Sanderson’s ability to allow herself to be open to learning and new, regardless of her age and experience which is a huge gift. I must take this moment to thank Suzy. Suzy, one of the most powerful gifts you have given me is the space to allow myself to park what I know to one side and be open to new and deeper learning. This is possibly one of the most expansive gifts I have received in my adult life.
About Suzy Ashworth:
She helps her clients create powerful messaging that converts browsers into buyers and builds a tribe of superfans for their businesses. Over the last four years, Suzy has supported almost 1,500 female entrepreneurs through online and in-person mentoring.
She runs a number of retreats and events including Limitless Live, an annual one-day event which connects, inspires and motivates women into taking themselves and their businesses to the next level of success.

Natalie Lue honours her late grandmother Pinchy Lue.
In today's podcast comes Natalie Lue honours her grandmother who sounds like she was a powerhouse. Pinchy Lue came to the UK in the Windrush era and quickly used her tenacity to create safe communities for black people facing the hostility of the British public and systems.
Natalie refers to her grandmother taking up space and doing work that was required to do so. Natalie notes that her grandmother's hard work and the demands of being a mother meant that she did not have much time to herself before she passed away suddenly in her 70's. For Natalie this was a message for her to make sure she takes care of herself whilst she is alive, fit and well to reap the benefits.
