In this this conversation, Aralyn, a high school senior from Aztec, New Mexico, and I dive into her journey of stepping into authentic leadership. From breaking away from stereotypes and learning that the desire to lead qualifies you to lead, to overcoming judgment and taking up space, Aralyn shares powerful insights on transforming from a side character to the main character of your own life. Together, we discuss the growth that comes from student council, the courage to belong as yourself, and the excitement (and nerves!) of preparing to leave home for college. Tune in for a heart-to-heart on finding friendship within yourself, embracing confidence, and igniting your inner leader.
