THIS Women’s Month, celebrated media personality and now Certified Business & Mental Fitness Coach, Liezel van der Westhuizen, is stepping into her purpose, one that’s redefining the way women show up for themselves mentally, emotionally, and professionally.
With over a decade in the public eye as a respected broadcaster, Liezel has always inspired through her voice and visibility.
But it’s always been her mission to empower women to build resilience, combat burnout, and strengthen mental agility that’s quickly gaining traction across boardrooms, leadership circles, and social platforms.
Passionate about her community, effecting positive change, Liezel is leaning more into bettering women everyday.
“Women are carrying so much; leadership, caregiving, entrepreneurship, societal expectations,” saysvan der Westhuizen.
“Mental fitness is not a luxury. It’s a skill set that every woman should have access to.”
As a Certified Business & Mental Fitness Coach, Liezel is using her influence to offer practical, research-based tools to help women quiet their inner critics and lead with confidence.
Her programs, keynote talks, and coaching circles are grounded in the principles of Positive Intelligence, offering women a path to sustainable well-being and peak performance.
This Women’s Month, Liezel will be hosting a series of dialogues themed “Strong Minds, Strong Women”, partnering with corporates and community organisations to bring mental fitness to the forefront of women’s development.
Her work also highlights the importance of mental fitness for women in leadership, a space where self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and burnout are still quietly rampant.
Liezel’s journey from TV presenter to mental fitness advocate is a testament to reinvention and purpose.
As someone who’s been in the spotlight, she knows the value of mental clarity, and now she’s using her platform to ensure other women gain access to the same tools.
“It’s time we stop glorifying stress and start celebrating the strength that comes from a grounded, healthy mind.”
This Women’s Month, Liezel invites women across South Africa to invest in their own mental wellness, not just for themselves, but for the generations they’re influencing every day.
