Why Smart People Change Their Minds (and How To Do it More Often)
À propos de ce podcast
Welcome to the The UnLearners, a space for anyone who's ready to challenge their assumptions, break free from limiting beliefs, and embrace personal growth!
In this podcast, Zanele Njapha (The UnLearning Lady) brings you inspiring guest journeys and solo teaching episodes to support you on your own unlearning journey.
Our guests come from all walks of life, and they share their own unique stories of unlearning and growth.
From entrepreneurs to artists, activists to healers, we explore how these incredible individuals have transformed their lives by questioning their assumptions and unlearning what no longer serves them.
In our solo teaching episodes, we dive deep into specific topics related to unlearning, such as letting go of perfectionism, embracing vulnerability, and cultivating self-compassion.
Our goal is to provide practical tools and insights that you can apply to your own life to support your unlearning journey.
Whether you're just starting out on your unlearning journey or you're well on your way, The UnLearners is here to support you every step of the way of your change and transformation - you don't have to do it alone!
Join us each week for inspiring conversations and solo episodes that will help you navigate the challenges of unlearning and help you create a more fulfilling life that resonates with your truest self.
