Ep. 046 Mindset, Mission, and Meaning: Carmen Abela on Purposeful Leadership
Mind & Money, hosts Shawn Todd and Corey Butler sit down with Carmen Abela, founder and Managing Director of Windreach Consulting Services, for a candid discussion on business leadership, personal growth, and mental health. Carmen Abela is a seasoned consultant with nearly 30 years of experience advising senior government leaders on governance, risk management, and accountability. She’s deeply committed to building public trust and supporting meaningful causes. The conversation explores Carmen’s unconventional path to building her own firm, the values instilled by her immigrant upbringing, and her passion for community advocacy—especially in mental health. Together they explore challenges of risk-taking, perfectionism, and finding balance as entrepreneurs, touching on men’s mental health and the importance of vulnerability and self-care in leadership. Connect with Corey, Shawn, and Ecivda Financial on Instagram, FB, LinkedIn, YouTube & Twitter. Here are 3 Key Takeaway: *Vulnerability is Strength: True leadership isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about being open to challenges, sharing struggles, and creating space for others to do the same. *Mental Health Is Health: Real, vulnerable stories about burnout, perfectionism, therapy, grief, and why self-care needs to be in every entrepreneur’s toolkit. *Small Businesses = Big Impact: You don’t need to be a giant corporation to make a difference. Small business owners can lead by example, rally together, and drive real social change.
