After six amazing years, this is the final episode of the Leadership with Heart podcast. If you’ve been with me since the beginning, thank you. Truly. This journey has been one of the most meaningful parts of my career and my life.
When I started this podcast in 2018, I felt the world needed more conversations about compassion in leadership. I believed that caring and connection were missing from too many workplaces, and I wanted to help change that. What followed was more than I could have imagined. This show led to best-selling books, powerful stories, and countless conversations with leaders who inspired me to keep going.
But like all of us, I’ve grown. I’ve evolved as a speaker, as a parent, as a consultant, and as a human being. And with that growth has come a realization: it’s time for something new.
So, while this is the end of Leadership with Heart, it’s also the beginning of something that feels even more aligned with where I am now. My new podcast is Becoming Unshakeable.
Let me tell you why.
I still believe deeply in caring leadership. That will never change. But I also believe we need to make space for the strength that comes from knowing who we are, standing firm in our values, and staying grounded when the world around us gets messy. Being unshakeable doesn’t mean we’re never shaken. It means we keep showing up. We get back up. We lead with care and clarity, even when it’s hard.
This next chapter will explore the full spectrum of what it means to lead and live with courage, resilience, and compassion. I’ll still be speaking with leaders, but not just those with titles or teams. I’ll be inviting people who have lived through adversity, rebuilt themselves, and learned how to stay rooted no matter what life throws at them.
The heart is still here. So is the purpose. But now I’m stepping more fully into the leader I’ve become, and I want to invite you to do the same.
So, thank you for being part of Leadership with Heart. And I hope you’ll walk with me into this next phase, where we keep learning, growing, and becoming unshakeable together.See you in the next episode. The first episode of Becoming Unshakeable.
