Today on Finding the Upside, I’m continuing the Rebel Leader Series with PART 2: You’ve awakened the rebel—now what? Today I am giving you real talk on what happens when you actually start leading differently. I get into the truth of what it feels like to lead with authenticity in systems still clinging to outdated leadership norms. If you’ve wondered how you lead without losing yourself, you’re not alone. But here’s the thing: the mold was never made for most of us. Especially not women, neurodivergent thinkers, people of color, or anyone who leads with heart.
I am diving into the reality: the pressure to conform, the double standards that still exist, and why leading from alignment isn’t just brave, it’s strategic. You’ll learn what authentic leadership actually looks like, how to stand in your values, and why integrity is your biggest power move. This episode is for anyone ready to ditch bad leadership and show up in a real way. Let’s get into it…
