The WECAN Podcast

Trust Yourself Anyway: Designing a Life That Fits. What does it mean to "design a life that fits"? How can you feel empowered when you don't feel confident? In this episode of WECAN, Stephanie talks to the incredible Sally Miller, an award-winning fashion designer, author, and one of the most profoundly heart-driven creative leaders you will ever meet. Sally is deeply invested in the art of mentoring and fostering creativity, reminding us that the "flow" is always there, sometimes we get in our own way! She shares how getting lost isn't a dead end; it’s often just a stepping stone to finding a new puzzle piece of ourselves. Just listening to Sally’s soothing voice and story makes you feel more grounded, in your body, and connected to your true self. Sally shows us how to come back to ourselves in all our different life phases. Her book, Trust Yourself Anyway, is my memoir and guide to help inspire and grow a global community of girls and women who are designing lives that actually fit. A roadmap to gracious, kind ways of showing up as ourselves, of trusting ourselves again.

In this episode of WECAN, I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing David Homan, founder of Orchestrated Connecting and author of Orchestrating Connections - known as a “Connector of Connectors,” David connects people. David is an intentional idealist who has managed something rare. He has built trust and a purposeful world around him that mirrors his deepest values back to him. He is a deeply generous human who cares about the greater good more than anything else, and listening to his dreams and the massive action he takes to achieve them is a true shot of hope. We live in a world that often feels fractured, but David reminds us that trust is the cornerstone. He doesn’t just talk about community; he engineers it. Through his global network of 2,600 connectors and his platform SOAR Connect, David creates immersive frameworks where authenticity and vulnerability aren't just "nice to have", they are the requirements for giving a piece of our soul to others and finding true connection. He is also a recognised classical composer whose music can be found by saying “Alexa–please play the music of David Homan,” with 7 albums and international radio play. His latest project is a film or mini-series about a composer who loses his mind to Alzheimer’s. A Note from Stephanie: Listening to David made me dream bigger. It made me want to double down even more on creating the world I want to see and be a part of. We all have the power to co-create our ideal reality for ourselves and each other; it doesn’t even take that much. Ask yourself today: What can I do for someone else? What will my ripple effect be?

Tiffany is a serious heavyweight in Washington, and her work is instrumental to the future of democracy.As we approach the critical 2026 elections, the American democratic fabric is at a turning point.We are seeing a historic concentration of wealth and a "pay-to-play" political culture that often ignores democracy and doing good.Tiffany joins us to show how we can "unrig" the system and ensure we have a political elite that keeps the hearts and needs of most people at the centre of their work.Democracy is not a passive system. It requires courage, persistence, and collective action.Courage is contagious, and reclaiming democratic power begins with individuals choosing to get involved.We need everyone to feel and know that they matter! For a system to change, for the greater good to prevail, we need leaders who keep people's interests at heart.We celebrate and honour Tiffany.

In this episode of the WECAN Interview Series, Stephanie welcomes Lyn Lee, author, changemaker, keynote speaker, board member, former Chief DEI Officer at Shell, and global DEI strategist (FTSE 100), who fosters innovation through diversity and champions inclusive excellence. Lyn Lee and Stephanie discuss the philosophy of human-centred leadership. From her humble beginnings on a farm in Singapore to leading global DEI initiatives for a Fortune 500 giant, Lyn’s journey is a testament to the power of authentic, value-driven leadership. In her book, Tiny Rice Grains, human-centred leadership is defined by curiosity, courage, and care. We are currently at a precipice in our social fabric. While technology advances, we will still rely on people for almost everything. Lyn joins us to discuss why getting the "human element" right is the most important work a leader can do. Leadership isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about alignment. As you watch this interview, ask yourself: 1. Who are the 5 humans you can influence today? 2. Where can you show more courage in acting differently and staying aligned with your values?

This is, without a doubt, the most informative episode we have ever released on AI upskilling. Stephanie is joined by Ben Tasker, a recognised leader in AI education and workforce transformation, who brings a uniquely patient, calm, and generous approach to a topic that often feels overwhelming. Ben is a leader at a Data & AI Academy that builds AI fluency and role-based skills across an international workforce to drive measurable business impact. He lays out a clear roadmap for the next 18 to 36 months, explaining why organisations must move beyond "using" AI to truly embed it into their systems to survive our new reality. Previously, Dean of AI at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), where he launched applied AI certifications supporting over 225,000 learners. Ben has also taught at Northeastern University’s Khoury College, one of the top colleges for AI & Computer Science. We stand at the precipice of a major transformation, and as technology moves fast, our human-centric approach must remain the anchor. If you’ve been looking for a grounded, expert perspective on how to navigate the future of work without losing your humanity, this conversation is for you. Integrate AI into your daily workflows to save time and improve productivity.

In today's episode of WECAN, we're diving into our Spiritual & Entrepreneur Series as Stephanie discusses purpose with Bishop Kevin Foreman, his life story and leadership philosophy. This isn't just a success story; it’s the ultimate "rags to riches" journey that proves how connecting your spirituality with your business can create the assets needed to change the world.Bishop Foreman became Denver's most influential African American and founded Harvest Church and Bible College, leading with a profound four-part creed: Love God, Love People, Love Life, and Make History. He is a man who truly wants people to win, and whether he’s building a business or a ministry, his mission is centred on one question: How do you want to matter?Bishop Foreman shares his "Pain to Purpose" philosophy, challenging us to look at our lives with radical intention. He believes we can, and must, re-learn how to love people, even when we don’t agree with them. It’s a skill we can train ourselves to master to make the world a better place through small and big acts of kindness. For entrepreneurs, he strips away the fluff and delivers the "BB" (About That Business) truth: success comes down to the right marketing and the right people. His golden rule? Execute imperfectly. Don't let the trap of perfection stop you from starting. Connect with Bishop Kevin Foreman: https://www.harvestchurch.church/bishop-kevin-foreman Explore his Books: https://www.harvestchurch.church/books Stephanie was deeply inspired by the reminder that we all have the power to be "history makers" in our own communities.
