  • The Surprising Power of Vulnerability In Effective Leadership with Serena Mastin

    Do you think hiding your struggles will make you a better leader? Hiding your struggles might actually hurt more than you think.

    In this episode of Influence By Design, Samantha sits down with Serena Mastin, owner of Pulse Marketing, to discuss a topic that’s rarely explored with such raw honesty — visibility through vulnerability. 

    Serena’s story is anything but ordinary, from surviving a traumatic childhood to leading a thriving marketing agency. What happens when issues you thought you had successfully concealed suddenly surface and threaten everything you’ve built?

    This isn’t just a story of struggle — it's one of incredible resilience. It’s a profound reminder that strength isn't always about holding it all together. Rather, it’s knowing when to let go and allow yourself to be vulnerable. As Serena powerfully demonstrates, you can’t heal when you hide, and it’s in that healing that true success and connection are found. 

    This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the pressures of maintaining a facade of strength when everything seems to be falling apart.
