Leadership isn’t always loud or recognized. Often, it’s shaped quietly through lived experience — through moments of integrity, boundary-setting, and choosing what’s right even when it’s uncomfortable.

In this episode, I reflect on personal stories from childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood that shaped my understanding of leadership long before I ever held a title. We talk about standing up for others, learning from harmful leadership, and how character is formed in moments where no one is watching.

This conversation explores what makes a good leader, how growth becomes integrated over time, and why real leadership is less about power or charisma and more about self-regulation, empathy, and clarity.

If you’ve ever felt different or like you were developing at a different pace than the people around you, this episode is for you.
