Let’s be real: you can have the planner, the title, the goals—but if you’re still second-guessing yourself every step of the way, you’re not actually leading. You’re performing.

This episode is a full-body permission slip to stop outsourcing your power—and start trusting the voice that matters most: your own.

I’m joined by transformational coach and self-exploration expert Bex Bassin for a truth-filled, energy-rich conversation about reclaiming your intuition, quieting the noise and leading with radical alignment—whether you’re running a business, a household, a team or a whole damn movement.

🔥 Inside the episode:

• Why self-trust is the real flex of modern leadership
• How to stop defaulting to people-pleasing and start hearing your inner brilliance
• The role of energy and embodiment in clear, powerful decision-making
• Practical ways to strengthen your self-trust (without waiting for the next crisis)
• What shifts when you lead with love, not fear

This is leadership at the deepest level—the kind that changes not just how you move through the world, but how you feel in it.

Share what landed for you—or pass this episode to someone who’s ready to stop second-guessing and start trusting themselves again.

Real change starts when we stop outsourcing our wisdom and finally listen to what’s already within.

You don’t have to prove yourself to lead powerfully.

You just have to trust yourself.

Too often, we get stuck waiting—waiting to feel motivated, waiting for circumstances to change, waiting for someone else to make the first move. But what if we flipped the script? What if we built the psychological flexibility to adapt, take ownership, and move forward—no matter what life throws our way?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Carrie Johansson, a psychologist, speaker, and author who helps people develop the mental agility to navigate life’s ups and downs with confidence and clarity. She breaks down how psychological flexibility isn’t just about resilience—it’s about actively choosing your response to life’s challenges.

In this conversation, we explore:

✔️ Why psychological flexibility is the key to navigating uncertainty with confidence
✔️ How to shift from feeling stuck to taking action—even when motivation is low
✔️ The power of choice architecture—setting yourself up for success
✔️ One simple shift you can make today to take back control of your life

"Motivation comes at the end of action. It does not predate action." – Dr. Carrie Johansson

If you’re ready to stop waiting and start leading your life with intention, this episode is for you.

✨ Your action step: When faced with a challenge, swap “Why me?” for “What’s my next best move?” Even the smallest action moves you forward.

In a world that often pushes individual success over collective growth, how do we create communities that truly support and uplift us?

In this episode, I sit down with Megan Bozzuto, President of the International Association of Women (IAW), to explore what it means to build purposeful community—one that fosters connection, collaboration and confidence.

Megan shares her unexpected journey into leadership, the power of showing up authentically and how we can create psychologically-safe spaces where they feel seen, valued and supported.

Listen in as we discuss:

✔️ The power of connection and how to build a strong, supportive network

✔️ Why asking for help is a leadership strength, not a weakness

✔️ How to balance authenticity with professionalism in community spaces

✔️ The importance of giving first and how it strengthens your network

✔️ A simple yet transformative way to step into community today

If you're ready to build deeper, more meaningful connections—without the pressure of perfection—this conversation is for you.

Action step: Find a community that aligns with your values and start by giving. Whether it’s sharing a resource, offering support, or making a connection, giving is the first step toward meaningful relationships.
