Have you ever noticed how quickly we reach for external guidance when facing new challenges? That reflexive Google search, the Amazon book order, the desperate call to a mentor—all while ignoring the quiet voice of wisdom within ourselves.
This episode challenges the fundamental belief that leadership success comes from outside sources. When a friend texted asking what she should read before starting a new leadership role, I found myself wondering: what if success doesn't come from doing more but from trusting more? We explore why we often seek new positions—not just for titles or salaries, but to escape environments where we've been shrinking ourselves just to survive. If you've ever felt the need to apologize for wanting a healthier workplace or a fresh start, this conversation is your permission slip to honor that desire.
From childhood, we're conditioned to look outward for answers, gradually silencing our own knowing. But what if your leadership doesn't come from becoming someone else or thinking like others? What if it emerges from becoming more authentically yourself? Through guided reflection and a simple breathing exercise, we explore how to reconnect with your inner compass—the wisdom that's been there all along.
The world doesn't need another perfectly trained leader following someone else's blueprint. It needs you—honest, grounded, imperfect, and powerful in your authenticity.
