Trusting myself when pain thrives and nothing makes sense.

Join host Carmen Murray on the Conscious Leadhers Podcast as she delves deep into the inspiring journey of Dr. Sane Ngidi, a remarkable woman who has traversed the realms of academia, corporate leadership, and personal adversity with grace and resilience.

In this compelling episode, Dr. Sane Ngidi shares her poignant story of triumph over tribulation, offering profound insights into navigating life's darkest moments while finding the strength to rise anew.

From her formative years studying psychology at the University of the Witwatersrand to her groundbreaking research on women in leadership roles, Sane candidly discusses the challenges she faced as a woman of colour ascending the ranks in the corporate world.

But it is in the depths of personal loss and heartache that Sane's story truly unfolds. She courageously recounts the devastating series of events that shook her world to its core, from the sudden loss of her father to the heart-wrenching journey of witnessing her mother's battle with Alzheimer's disease.

Yet, amidst the pain and sorrow, Sane discovers a reservoir of inner strength and resilience. Through seeking professional help, embracing her cultural heritage, and finding solace in the bonds of family, she begins a profound journey of healing and self-discovery.

As she shares her experiences of navigating grief, miscarriage, and the complexities of motherhood, Sane offers a powerful testament to the human spirit's capacity for renewal and growth.

Listeners are invited to witness a transformative journey of hope, courage, and the unwavering belief in the power of the human heart to overcome even the darkest of days. Tune in as Carmen Murray and Dr. Sane Ngidi explore what it truly means to trust oneself when pain thrives and nothing seems to make sense.
