In this grounding and deeply honest conversation, Alma sits down with AnnRita Njiru-Mugo, business strategist, ecosystem builder, and soon-to-be certified coach, whose career has spanned academia, entrepreneurship, climate impact, and supporting African women founders.

They explore:
What resilience actually means in entrepreneurship
How mindset shapes confidence, fundraising, and leadership
Burnout, boundaries, and building systems that protect your wellbeing
Why African women must unlearn suffering and embrace supported success
The tension between motherhood, ambition, and identity
Why resilience sometimes means letting go, not pushing harder
How she’s transitioning into coaching and building a purpose-led career
