Finding who we really are is often described as a journey and for Alisoun Mackenzie the voyage of discovery quite literally began when she was backpacking around the world, yet not in the way you might expect.
Alisoun is on a mission to help women enjoy a happier, more meaningful life that lights up their heart and makes a difference in a way that they are proud of. Her own personal search for meaning started with getting off a train.
The train of expectation.
Understanding, accepting and owning her mission has repeatedly required Alisoun to let go of expectation: both her own expectations of herself and the expectations of others. In this inspirational yet intimate conversation, meaningful life guide, Alisoun Mackenzie, describes how letting go and surrendering to the process of life has inspired and created incredible opportunities to serve, undertaking humanitarian work with young genocide survivors in Rwanda, and leading teams of women who sponsor earthquake-resistant schools made of recycled plastic in Asia.
Having explored her own quest for meaning, Alisoun now helps other women to live a more meaningful life that leaves a legacy.
This episode is for anyone who is seeking more meaning in life and wants to learn more about living a life that is aligned to their personal truth.

#052 Looking back on "Being 10% Braver" with Vivienne Porritt OBE
What would be possible in your mission, if you were just 10% braver? How would that influence the scale of your dream, the scape of your thinking, or the scope of who you are being as you lead your mission forward?
Imagine the difference that could make. For Vivienne Porritt, that moment came as part of the evolution of WomenEd. The recognition of the difference when one person is 10% braver, AND the compound impact of the whole community of women choosing to be 10% braver too. Looking back on our conversation, I reflect on what we can learn from Vivienne’s experience of being 10% braver: from creating a fairer and equitable experience of education for every child to feel valued, through to exposing the inequities experienced by women in education so that women leaders can maximise their fullest potential in creating the best possible outcomes for children, from nursey to university. If you’re ready to be 10% braver in how you show up in your mission, this week’s Insights episode is for you.

#054 Looking back on "Let It Go!" with Alisoun Mackenzie
1 RecommendationsIf you could let go of one expectation, right now, what would it be? Would it be an expectation of yourself, or of other people? Or maybe you would let go of something you know others expect of you? Imagine the difference that freedom, that you would create, would make in your mission. For Alisoun Mackenzie, that moment came when she got off the train of expectation and began to explore who she really was. Looking back on our conversation, I begin by reflecting on the personal impact of discovering a deeply personal shared experience, and how I resisted the temptation to edit out how it made me feel! I then look at what we can learn from Alisoun’s story of letting go and how, when we let go of everything we think we know, we learn more than we ever thought possible about who we really are. If you’re ready to let go and surrender to the process of life, this week’s Insights episode is for you.
