Transcendence
Let go, trust, transcend, lead. These four words hold immense power and significance in our journey towards personal and collective growth. Today, I delve into the importance of embracing these principles in order to navigate the current energetic shifts and step into a new paradigm of leadership and life. We often hold onto things that are good, but not necessarily great. This episode encourages you to release anything that no longer serves your highest purpose and step into a new chapter that is more aligned with your authentic self. It's time to shed old beliefs, patterns, and relationships...

The transition from entrepreneur to creator is a journey that many individuals embark on as they seek to align their work with their true passions and purpose. It’s a process of self-discovery and growth. Today, we can see glimpses of this transition in the story of our incredible guest. In this week’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Raj Jana, the host of the critically acclaimed podcast, Stay Grounded, and CEO of Liber8, a human transformation company that builds technologies to help people track and resolve the root emotional causes of their health, money, and relationship...

Competition has long been ingrained in our society, particularly among women. From a young age, we are taught to compare ourselves to others, to strive to be better, and to believe that there is only room for one at the top. This toxic mindset has created a culture of competition and comparison, where women feel the need to constantly prove themselves and tear each other down in order to succeed. However, there is a shift happening. In this juicy episode, I had the pleasure of welcoming Amy Natalie, a Women's Empowerment Coach and Feminine Embodiment Guide. Amy has over a decade of coaching...

Gone are the days of ego-driven leadership and solely satisfying our own needs. True leadership in the future requires self-transcendence. It's about moving beyond our individual desires and focusing on how we can uplift our species as a whole. This forward-thinking approach to leadership is not only powerful but also necessary for creating a better world. In this episode, I had the privilege of welcoming back a very special guest, Moe Rock, an Award-Winning Producer, Entrepreneur, Entertainment Consultant, Speaker, and Author, who is not only a dear friend but also an incredible thought...

Scarcity is often seen as a negative and undesirable state to be in. It is associated with lack, limitation, and a sense of not having enough. However, in today’s episode, I challenge this perception and suggest that scarcity can actually teach us self-love. Scarcity is not primarily about money and material possessions, but rather about our beliefs and mindset. Through my own experiences and insights, I’ll be sharing how scarcity can be a catalyst for personal growth and transformation. By embracing scarcity and understanding its role in our lives, we can extract valuable lessons...

Did you know that my name, Carissa, actually means grace? Grace is not just a word; it's a frequency, a way of being. It's about living a graceful life, sharing gracefully, and embodying that energy in all aspects of our lives. When we tap into grace, everything feels peaceful and aligned. It's a journey of reconnecting with our soul wisdom and finding peace within ourselves. Success, to me, is synonymous with peace. If we are at peace, we are succeeding. Let's rewrite our version of success and allow old paradigms to crumble. In this week's episode, I dive deep into the profound concept of...

Tune in as I open up about the challenges I face in finding the balance between sharing my journey with you all and keeping some aspects of my life private. In this week's episode, I dive deep into two simple yet powerful concepts that have radically changed the trajectory of my life: forgiveness and divine timing. I share my personal journey of growing up with resentment and how I have learned to release it through forgiveness. Remember, forgiveness not only liberates us from the past but also...

Today, I want to dive deep into a topic that hits close to home for many of us - family. Family dynamics shape personal growth in profound ways. Our families are the first and most influential social systems we encounter, and they play a significant role in shaping our beliefs, values, and behaviors. This episode highlights the transformative power of family dynamics and the lessons they offer. I’m sharing my personal experiences and the profound lessons I've learned while visiting my family in Illinois. Spending time with loved ones or family gatherings can often be triggering and bring up...

There’s a misconception that personal growth and self-actualization only involve focusing on one's strengths and discarding or ignoring the darker aspects of oneself. However, the true growth comes from loving and integrating all parts of oneself, including the parts that feel unlovable or socially unacceptable. In this episode, Carissa had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Cameron MacDougall, a Transformational Expert, Coach, Public Speaker, Breathwork Facilitator, and Host of the Ignite You podcast. Together, we explored some edgy but incredibly important topics that will...
info_outlineWe rebranded, took some time off, and now we are back better than ever! Welcome to Transcendent Leadership, a show where we bring together top leaders and experts to share their unfiltered truths about the journey to self-actualization and the path to heart-centered leadership.
Transcendent Leaders are willing to heal their trauma, go beyond limitation & show up from their hearts. They are ready to accept the responsibility of their purpose, because they have faith in a power bigger than themselves.
This is a space where leadership is balanced with both masculine and feminine energy. Are you ready to accept the challenge of your purpose, and to powerfully embody these energies within yourself? This is the paradigm of leadership we are ushering in together on this podcast!
In today's episode, I reveal how this recent season of rest has opened me to an entirely new mindset, and how leaning into your own seasons of rest and even resistance can greatly impact your purpose in the long-run.

Memorable Quotes
“Wisdom comes from within. It comes from learned experiences. It comes from reflection. It comes from difficulty and what you learn about yourself. That is what enlightenment and self-actualization, and our human potential is all about. It’s about you continuing to meet you.” [13:00] -Carissa Johnsen
“In order to sustain success, in order to rewrite the paradigm and the narrative of what it means to be successful and to be a leader, we have to understand growth equations and how this actually works.” [17:20]-Carissa Johnsen
“Sometimes when you meet resistance it’s not actually meant to be pushed through. There might actually be a reason why it’s not time for you to launch that thing.” [19:56] -Carissa Johnsen
