The Wealth of Coming Home: Hope, Hard Choices & Filling Your Cup with Lesedi Shubane

Loading player...
In this heartwarming and thought-provoking episode of The Wealth Zen, Sam and Charmaine welcome the dynamic Lesedi Shubane a global changemaker, arts advocate, and social impact leader for a soulful conversation on what true wealth really looks like.

From the leafy streets of Johannesburg to the creative chaos of LA, Lesedi shares her inspiring journey of leaving South Africa, building a life abroad, and boldly choosing to return. Together, they unpack:
Why the world’s “greener grass” isn’t always what it seems
The silent power of time, community, and meaningful conversations
The work of hope, justice, and imagination in building a life of purpose
The surprising things we miss when we chase success — and how to come back to what matters

This episode is a warm reminder that wealth is more than money it’s connection, creativity, critical thinking, and the courage to live in alignment with your values. Whether you’re chasing dreams abroad or finding peace at home, this is one you don’t want to miss.

Tune in and rediscover why wealth is measured in moments, not millions.
