Season 4 Ep 20: Shanda Brown on Holistic, Proactive Self-Care

Author: Lisa Kuzman April 1, 2021 Duration: 38:40

Today, I'm wrapping up season 4 by sharing this conversation with mom, entrepreneur, creator and licensed social worker Shanda Brown. Shanda has channeled her lived experience, education, and passion for both fashion and wellness into the creation of Zen Lately.

In addition to gorgeous wellness products, Zen Lately offers in-depth self-care consultations which go above and beyond the "massage and a girls' night out" school of self-care. These consultations are an investment, and the first step towards better mental, physical, financial, occupational, and social wellness.

So obviously, we had to talk self-care — in all of its forms! Tune in to hear all about:

  • the difference between Zen Lately's services and therapy
  • building a life that doesn't require escape
  • how self care looks different for everybody
  • the financial component to self-care

and of course, a whole lot more!

Shanda, thank you for everything you shared on the show today. If you resonated with Shanda's views on self-care, I encourage you to head over to https://zenlately.com/ and check out everything they have to offer!

I also want to thank all of you who tuned in for season 4. Serving it HOT will be back in May, but in the meantime, you can find me over at https://lisakuzman.com and book a call! I'd also love for you to join us in my Trauma-Sensitive Leadership Facebook group where the full video of these episodes are hosted: https://www.facebook.com/groups/764082764458292/

See you soon!


There's a quiet shift happening in how we think about authority and influence, and New Wave Leadership Podcast is right at the heart of it. Host Lisa Kuzman believes traditional, top-down leadership models have run their course, proving ineffective for today's complex world. Instead, this movement champions a much broader, more inclusive vision. Each episode digs into the real, often unspoken challenges that come with stepping into a role of influence, whether you're in a corner office, a community group, or simply leading your own life. The conversations here actively work to expand our definition of who gets to be a leader, arguing passionately for the necessity of diverse identities, perspectives, and lived experiences at the helm. You'll hear frank discussions about authenticity, the personal hurdles leaders navigate behind closed doors, and practical ideas for cultivating your own unique leadership identity without conforming to outdated standards. Tuning into this podcast feels like joining a necessary dialogue-one that moves beyond theory to explore what it genuinely means to show up and make an impact on your own terms.
