Against The Grain
Despite the fat furphy we've been fed, there's no ‘one way’ or ‘right way’ to do life, and nor is there a ‘one size fits all’ approach to success and fulfillment.
The Against The Grain podcast is for the jaded woman who is done feeling discontent with her lukewarm life and can sense her inner rebellion rising.
The woman who knows she is meant for more. She's ready to courageously ditch the rule book and willingly take action to lead a life that is different to what's expected. A life that energises and excites her. A life that she's proud of and pumped about!
Tune in to hear Louise share her stories and wisdom and connect with interesting and inspiring humans who are living with intent, pursuing change as a choice and leading the way towards shaping their own success story.
