Note sull'episodio
In this grounding and deeply honest conversation, Alma sits down with Debra Ouma-Weya, women’s leadership champion and founder of Positive Circles, a women-centred community built to support growth, connection, and self-advocacy across different seasons of life.
The conversation opens with an important discussion on menopause and perimenopause, why these transitions are often misunderstood, how they can affect women physically, mentally, and professionally, and why women need better awareness, language, and support around their health. From there, the conversation widens into leadership, mentorship, community-building, and what it takes to create spaces where women can grow without competition or performance.
Debra shares the journey of building Positive Circles from a small gathering into a thriving ecosystem, the realities of running a purpose-driven business, and the lessons she’s learned about resilience, alignment, and sustainability along the way.
They explore:
Menopause and perimenopause, and why women’s health conversations matter beyond medicine
Self-advocacy and understanding your body at different life stages
The difference between networking and genuine community
Mentorship across generations and supporting younger women
Building Positive Circles and the pillars of money, career, business, personal growth, and impact
Navigating leadership, identity, and purpose as a woman
Balancing impact-driven work with sustainability and alignment
If you’re a woman navigating change, in your health, career, business, or identity, this episode offers perspective, reassurance, and a reminder that you don’t have to do it alone.
