Is wellness making us sicker? Coming back to yourself with wellness pioneer Anna Bjurstam and Leonora Be You
When was the last time you asked yourself how you slept, before checking your phone?
Anna Bjurstam has spent 30 years shaping how the world rests and heals, including 13 years as Wellness Pioneer at Six Senses. This summer she followed her heart and founded Wahayla, a consultancy whose name means the power of the heart.
In this conversation Leonora meets the woman beyond the pioneer. Anna shares the near-death experience at 14 that opened her to the unseen world, how she quietly hid healing inside spas when spirituality was still taboo, and the moment close to bankruptcy when one simple question changed everything: hasn't it always worked out?
Together they ask the uncomfortable question of our time: is wellness making us sicker? Anna explains why measuring everything can disconnect us from ourselves, why she believes every leader should try ten days of silence, and how to turn discipline into pleasure.
And one question to carry with you all week: what would love do now?
Stay yourself.

Power without force: Sensei Zen Takai on leading from stillness
What if the most powerful thing you could do as a leader today is become still?
Leonora sits with Sensei Zen Takai, known as the Zen Samurai, heir to a samurai lineage sixteen generations deep, who has trained leaders from Google, Oxford and the Young Presidents’ Organization. As a teenager he ran from his strict samurai upbringing into Tokyo’s punk rock scene. One book from his father brought him home.
Together they explore why so many women leaders still feel they must perform masculine energy to be taken seriously, what changes when you lead from your centre (the tanden, or as we call it at Now Be You, the womb) instead of your head, and the small samurai practices you can carry through a full day: the pinky finger, the cup of still water, the water moon.
And a story you may not expect. Long before the samurai, Sensei says, it was women shamans who guided society.
A few moments in this episode are live demonstrations, so watch, don’t just listen.
Stay yourself.

You have more time than you think: Natalie Lefevre on building a life unapologetically your way
What if the sentence “I don’t have enough time” is the one thing keeping you from yourself?
In this episode, Leonora sits with Natalie Lefevre, known to over a million people as Island Natalie. Entrepreneur, media founder and health educator, Natalie built her work out of a health crisis that began with six weeks in a hospital in the Seychelles and a body the tests couldn’t explain.
But this is not a conversation about protocols. It is about the woman underneath. Natalie shares who she was before (insecure, but always with a spark), how she tells intuition from fear when she has to decide, and the last words of her father, her best friend: “Promise me you’ll take care of yourself.”
Together they explore why choosing yourself is not selfish, why emotions need somewhere to go, and why the biggest hack of all might be to stop worrying.
Girl, you’ve got time.
