About This Podcast
Yes Girls Podcast is Africa's first experiential growth media brand, designed as a structured, documented public laboratory for personal development.
For the ambitious, the curious, and those unwilling to live on autopilot, this audio-first podcast explores what it truly takes to evolve through lifelong learning, self-discovery, and a growth mindset, grounded not just in theory, but in practice.
Every bi-weekly episode is either a Yespisode (beginning with a Yes Challenge) or a Yesticle (beginning with a real-world challenge), built to stretch comfort zones and expand capability. Award-winning hosts Akumu Fiona and Claire Baker document the process on record.
Tune in and start practising the kind of courage that turns curiosity into transformation. Then keep saying YES. Follow on all platforms: @yesgirlspodcast
