  • The Power of Self-Sovereignty: How Women Are Redefining Success on Their Own Terms

    The Power of Self-Sovereignty: How Women Are Redefining Success on Their Own Terms
    Aug 1 2025

    Stop trying to prove yourself. Be it, own it, and lead from there.

    In this powerful conversation, Cynthia James sits down with South African leadership coach and consultant Busisiwe Hlatswayo to explore what she calls self-sovereignty, the deep inner work of owning your authority and releasing the patterns of people-pleasing, burnout, and outdated definitions of success.

    She shares how growing up as a middle child and lifelong peacemaker shaped her journey, why starting her business forced her to break free from old structures, and how she helps leaders build workplaces where everyone’s sovereignty is honored.

    This episode is about finding your own way of leading, redefining power, and learning to see yourself to become yourself.
