Episode 9
Authenticity: The Heartbeat of Inspired Leadership
What would happen if you truly let yourself be seen—raw, honest, and gloriously unfinished?
In this soulful solo episode, Carolyn guides you home to your own truth, unafraid of the messy middle. Drawing from the spirit of National Authenticity Day, she invites you to set down the masks, embrace vulnerability as leadership’s secret strength, and reconnect to the heart-space where real magic—and meaningful connection—are born.
Through heartfelt stories, courageous reflection, and loving challenges, Carolyn reveals how releasing and letting go of “host mode” and embracing your unapologetic self inspires trust, belonging, connection and transformation—for yourself and everyone you lead.
If you’re craving more depth, realness, and freedom to lead (and live!) as your bravest self, this episode is your invitation.
What You’ll Hear:
- Why authenticity, not perfection, is the truest foundation of inspired leadership
- The story of a heart-to-heart conversation that changed how Carolyn sees her leadership (and life)
- The wisdom in Chris’s quote: “If it doesn’t hurt, you didn’t learn the lesson”
- How sharing unfinished and vulnerable stories creates belonging and hope—way more than “victories” ever could
- Soulful prompts and gentle invitations to pause, reflect, and honor your own journey
- Four practical ways to infuse your leadership—and life—with radical honesty and authenticity
- A loving challenge to share your realness with someone today, no edits or rehearsal
- Encouragement to “get in the pool” and be human right beside those you lead
