What if the life you're craving isn't built by doing more — but by taking it all apart first?

In this soul-stirring conversation, I’m joined by leadership coach and author Lindsay Leahy to explore what it really means to live, lead, and work with intention. Through the lens of her new book Take It All Apart, Lindsay invites us to dismantle the expectations, fears, and old narratives we’ve outgrown—and rebuild from a place of truth, peace, and purpose.

We talk about the courageous work of reconnecting with yourself, the power of solitude in a noisy world, and why living with intention isn’t about checking more boxes—it’s about creating a life that feels like yours. Lindsay also shares tangible practices to help you reclaim your energy, realign your priorities, and take grounded action toward the life you’re meant to live.

If you’re standing at the edge of change, feeling the nudge to rewrite your story, or simply ready to stop settling for a life that doesn’t fit—this episode will meet you right where you are and call you forward into what's next.

In this episode, we explore:

• Lindsay’s journey of realizing success didn’t equal fulfillment
• What it really means to live, lead, and work with intention
• The power of solitude and rebuilding connection with yourself
• How survival patterns and limiting beliefs shape our lives
• Lindsay’s "Dumping Exercise" for reclaiming your energy and clarity
• Creating moments of silence even in busy seasons
• Defining core values and setting aligned goals
• Building supportive relationships as you evolve
• Moving through imposter syndrome and self-sabotage
• Why healing yourself is the most powerful leadership work you can do
