If I had to describe Advocate Fadzayi Mahere in three words, they would be: Clarity, Courage and Commitment. A constitutional lawyer who has been in practice for 12 years, she practices as an advocate at the Harare Bar. Her main fields of practice include constitutional law, human rights law, and administrative law. In this conversation we talk a lot about how her early years prepared her for life as an advocate, the important role that mentors and role models have played, and why engaging with the political situation in a country is everyone's responsibility. Her passion for the law is palpable, and her commitment to righting wrongs offers hope in a jaded world. Fadzayi holds a Masters in International Law from the University of Cambridge and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Zimbabwe. Prior to reading law at Cambridge, Fadzayi worked in the Office of the Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in the Hague and for the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. She was also awarded a Pegasus Fellowship from the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple in London, which enabled her to work in various Chambers in London, including Essex Court Chambers and Doughty Street Chambers. In addition to her professional commitments, Fadzayi was the spokesperson and a leading political activist in the #ThisFlag Citizens' Movement between 2016 and 2017 where she led a political activism campaign against top government officials including the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe and the Ministry of Health. She ran for the post of Member of Parliament for Mt Pleasant Constituency where she contested as an independent candidate in the 2018 election. Fadzayi is currently the National Spokesperson of Zimbabwe's main opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change Alliance.

Pura vida! This new episode goes live while I’m leading the WOMEN WHO DARE retreat in Costa Rica. I’m here with several inspiring clients, including Beth Sears who is our guest today. Beth was brought up with very traditional beliefs about business and how her life “should” be. She was expected to have a high-powered career, be the perfect wife and mother, and she started on that path by going to law school. After having her first child, she decided that being a lawyer was not the right path for her, and she instead took on the “Martha Stewart role” of her home. Keeping the perfect home and filling so many roles became unsustainable. In Beth’s quest to be perfect, she was still not fulfilled. Beth is now a certified holistic health coach who draws on her wisdom of yoga and Reiki to help women who are in the menopausal phase in their lives to harness this natural process and feel strong in their mind, body and spirit. Beth led a Reiki Circle here in Costa Rica and it was pure magic! Excited for you to tune in to this conversation. Tune in to discover: How Beth was able to move past the pressures of what her life should look like The power of changing directions The lessons she learned from the death of her mother and mother-in-law Why going sober was the best decision for her The keys to feeling stronger About Our Guest: Beth Sears a certified holistic health coach trained by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. She’s a yoga teacher (RYT-200) and an NASM-personal trainer, and has been personally trained by Gabby Bernstein of Spirit Junkie fame to teach the principles of her book May Cause Miracles. Beth is passionate about living a healthy, balanced life full of joy and sharing her sometimes messy, but always real, journey through life.
