In this week’s episode of Styled to Rise, I sit down with Louzanne Coetzee, a woman whose strength, faith and resilience moved me in the most unexpected way. We live in a world that celebrates the medal moment, the finish line moment, the highlight that everyone sees. But Louzanne reminds us that true victory is shaped long before the destination ever arrives. Together we talk about the sacrifices no one talks about, the early mornings, the setbacks, the doubts, the discipline and the quiet choices that build a life of purpose. She shares how easy it is for people to look at success and assume it happened overnight, when in reality, it is shaped by years of unseen work and unwavering commitment. Louzanne opens up about the pressures she faced, the moments where she had to hold on to faith when nothing made sense, and the strength she found in choosing perseverance over perfection. Her story reminds us that every step before the finish line matters. Every slow start, every small decision, every moment you want to quit but choose not to… it all shapes who you become. This episode is a tender, honest look at the journey behind the achievements, and a gentle reminder that your becoming is just as important as your arriving. If you need encouragement, if you feel behind, or if you are questioning your path, this conversation will hold you, inspire you and remind you that the unseen moments matter more than you think.
