Empower your inner leader: A Shero’s journey to overcoming self-sabotage

On 30 August a Women’s Month event is set to cut deeper than surface celebration. SHE Leads A Shero’s Journey - Break Free from Self-Sabotage to Empower Your Inner Leader, will be held at InuWell at the V&A, a sanctuary for transformation, chosen with intention.

Led by neuroscience based leadership strategist and coach Aneesa Theron, the event is for women across corporate, entrepreneurial and public sectors, who are ready to release perfectionism, people pleasing, imposter syndrome and burnout, to reclaim their power.

Aneesa, founder of CRAFT Advisory Services, brings evidence-based tools rooted in neuroscience, systems thinking, and positive psychology to individuals and organisations seeking authentic meaningful change. Her clients span corporate teams, founders, and leadership programs across sectors.

The event comes at a time when employee wellbeing, psychological safety, and authentic leadership are no longer “soft skills,” but critical growth factors for teams and economies. We are planting seeds for women who are ready to lead authentically from within, and in companies that are ready to invest in real, human transformation.

With rising disengagement, mental health decline, and overextended teams, this work is no longer optional. “Women are the backbone of society, but we can’t keep pouring from an empty vessel,” Theron says.

“This is personal,” Theron says. “I didn’t just study the science, I lived the survival. Raised in volatility, I became a people pleaser, saviour, and high performer to survive. These masks came at the cost of my voice and wellbeing. This event mirrors the very journey I took to break free, and now I empower others to do the same.”

The event promises practical tools all designed to rewire habits, reset internal narratives, and activate authentic leadership from within. Attendees will be guided through Theron's SHE Leads™ framework using The Hero’s Journey narrative arc to:

• Self-Awareness: Identify sabotage patterns

• Holistic Habits: Rewire daily energy rituals

• Empowered Leadership: Shift from survival to conscious, courageous leadership

This is not another motivational event, it’s a strategic, systemic invitation to transformation. A safe space to disrupt self-silencing, and activate real, sustainable change from the inside out.
