Taking the Profound Soul Leaps That Transform Your Alignment with Rohene Bouajram
What if the leap you’re afraid to take is the very one that’s calling your name?
In this thought leadership episode, host Rohene Bouajram shares the why behind Her Next Act—the theme for Season 3—through a raw, intimate solo reflection. No guests. No interviews. Just truth.
In a world that praises titles, applause, and performance, this episode dares to explore the spaces in between: the silent, tender, often unrecognizable moments where women of colour leaders begin to choose themselves. With vulnerability and clarity, Rohene shares what inspired this season’s theme, the therapy moment that forever changed her, and a metaphor about tacos (yes, tacos) that will stay with you long after the episode ends.
This is more than a conversation about leadership transitions—this is the start of a love letter to the woman who is no longer okay with half-versions of herself.
Discover how to:
✨ Identify and release outdated contracts that no longer serve you
✨ Reclaim your voice from silence, shame, and survival
✨ Prepare for your next act with 5 steps that ground you in courage, clarity, and community
Your next act doesn’t need permission or an audience. You just need to claim ‘yes’.

01:49 – Rohene opens with a powerful question: What if the leap you’re afraid to take is the very one that might save your life? She introduces the theme of Season 3, “Her Next Act,” by reflecting on the leaps that transform us and asking bigger and deeper questions.
05:45 – She opens up an intimate conversation of choosing alignment through the metaphor of “leaps of our soul” and describes the messy and nonlinear process of transformation when familiar stepping stones disappear and the only option is to take a leap fueled by faith, not fear.
07:11 – By highlighting a friend’s story of signing an NDA after leaving a toxic job, Rohene reflects on how NDAs represent unspoken contracts women of colour hold: to stay silent, small, and unseen—and how to break them. She shares her personal journey of going deeper in therapy and the wake-up call of “half-eaten tacos” that her therapist offered as a challenge to stop accepting crumbs and reclaim her/our worth.
18:55 – Rohene ends the episode with the same bigger and deeper questions: What old contracts are you still honouring? What half-eaten tacos are you accepting? And what if you leapt before feeling ready? She also shares five steps to prepare for your next act: (1) Get clear on your why, (2) Set a timeline, (3) Lean on your bridges, (4) Protect your character, and (5) Step into the next act with intention and a launch plan. She closes with a grounding affirmation: We were never meant to survive on crumbs. We were meant to feast on fullness.
