I had the honor of joining Kayla Sweet, CEO of Internally Guided Life, for a powerful and deeply reflective conversation about leadership, identity, and what it means to live and lead from the inside out.
In this episode, I share my journey from over 20 years of service in the U.S. Marine Corps and the federal government to stepping into a new season as a leadership coach and business owner. We talk openly about burnout, the quiet moments of disconnection many leaders experience, and the courageous work of rediscovering purpose, clarity, and self-worth.
Kayla and I explore the evolution of leadership especially for women when it is rooted in authenticity rather than expectation. I reflect on the balance of strength and compassion, confidence and vulnerability, and how embracing wholeness has shaped the way I lead, coach, and live today.
In this conversation, I speak to:
What authentic leadership looks like when it’s grounded in values and self-awareness
How I navigated burnout and realigned with my purpose
The role of self-worth and self-love in sustainable leadership
Leading with integrity, empathy, courage, and influence
This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect with who you are beneath the roles you carry. When leadership is internally guided, it becomes more aligned, more human, and more sustainable.
