Say no to hustle culture and yes to a life of ease. That’s what making space to exhale is all about. Join five-time Anthem Award-winning author, speaker, Reiki Master, and founder of The Great Exhale, Lisa Hurley, for thoughtful conversations about rest, burnout recovery, and sustainable success.
Inspired by Lisa’s multi-award-winning book, Space To Exhale, each episode is designed to help you curate a life you don’t feel the need to take a break from.
Because an exhale is more than a breath. It is a release. It is a practice. It is a way of living.
Join the conversation.
It is time to exhale.
Soft living is about more than luxury and comfort. For Black women especially, soft living can be a way of reclaiming joy, rest, self-love, while also resisting the pressure of the systems that were never designed for them to thrive.
In this episode of Space To Exhale: The Podcast, Lisa welcomes veteran educator, author, speaker, and anti-racist activist Rosemary Campbell-Stevens, MBE, for a conversation about what it means to move beyond simply using “Global Majority” as a term, and start embracing “Global Majority” as a lifestyle. Because honestly, a lot of what we call soft living nowadays is rooted in practices and rituals created by the communities now known as the Global Majority.
As the person who brought the term Global Majority to prominence, Rosemary is uniquely qualified to participate in this discussion. Together, Lisa and Rosemary explore Black identity, decolonization, soft living, and the everyday practices that can help Black women get centered and heal themselves.
In “Exploring Global Majority Life: Soft Living as Liberation,” you will discover:
💚 What it looks like to live a Global Majority life
💚 Why soft living can be liberatory
💚 How joy, rest, and self-love can become intentional daily practices
💚 How decolonizing our thinking can change the way we understand ourselves and the world
💚 How Black women can define freedom, softness, and fulfillment on their own terms
Join Lisa and Rosemary and be part of a conversation that invites you to imagine a life shaped less by survival mode and more by true liberation.
