S3 E13 The Outer Game of Leadership - Part 2 – The Soulie Insider
Soul Care Healing: The Podcast
What if leadership wasn’t about being the loudest in the room, but about creating spaces where every voice counts? In this episode of The Soulie Insider, I talk about the Outer Game of Leadership. This is part two of my leadership mini-series, and it’s all about how we show up in the world as leaders, not just for ourselves, but for the people around us. I share why listening is a true superpower, how to create environments where ideas can flow (it’s not just in boardrooms), and why confidence in leadership isn’t about having all the answers, but knowing when to step...

S3 E12 The Inner Game of Leadership Part 1 – The Soulie Insider
Soul Care Healing: The Podcast
What if the real secret to being a brilliant leader isn’t in the boardroom but in the way you wake up, wind down, and carry yourself when no one’s clapping? In this episode of The Soulie Insider, I’m talk about the inner game of leadership. Because leadership isn’t about titles.

Do you ever feel like you’re holding it all together on the outside, while quietly crumbling on the inside with high-functioning burnout?

S3 E7 Confidence and conviction. Breaking free from other people’s voices – The Soulie Insider
Soul Care Healing: The Podcast
Being capable, high-achieving, and the one who gets things done is powerful. But it can come with a shadow side, other people’s judgments, labels, and negativity.

In this episode, I share my personal story of the labels I’ve been given (some uplifting, some brutal) and the impact they had on my confidence. We’ll talk about why we often let criticism weigh heavier than compliments, and how to reframe the voices that try to pull you down. You’ll walk away with practical tools to release the...

S3 E4 Patience, Persistence and Putting Yourself First - The Soulie Insider
Soul Care Healing: The Podcast
What if persistence isn’t about pushing harder, but about slowing down, regulating your nervous system, and backing yourself with patience? In this episode of The Soulie Insider, I’m sharing the truth about patience, persistence, and why putting yourself first isn’t selfish, it’s survival. We often think persistence means grinding and patience means waiting quietly, but when you’re a high-achieving woman, both can tip you into high-functioning burnout if you’re not paying attention to your body’s signals.
