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.
Black women are often expected to lead with excellence while carrying pressure that remains invisible to everyone else. The result can be that they experience chronic stress, continuous mental exhaustion, and a version of success that leaves little space to exhale.
In “Clear, Calm & Capable: Leading Without Burnout,” Lisa Hurley welcomes Dr. Yvette Ankrah MBE, transformational coach, therapist, consultant, and Founder of Leading with C.L.A.R.I.T.Y. Together, they explore the realities of Black women and burnout in the United States, the mental health impact of high-pressure leadership, and why life-work balance must be treated as a leadership priority.
The conversation will also move beyond the problem to examine what healthier, more sustainable leadership can look like.
You will learn:
💚 How chronic pressure and burnout affect Black women
💚 Why clarity is essential for strong decision-making
💚 How leaders can create space to process and reset
💚 What sustainable leadership looks like in real life
💚 How calm, compassion, and support strengthen leadership
Join Lisa and Dr. Ankrah for a conversation that can help every woman who wants to lead well without losing herself in the process.
