In this episode of Founders Future, with host Zach Young, we meet Rina Winston, a life and leadership coach who specializes in deep, transformative work with purpose-driven leaders and entrepreneurs. Rina shares her journey from a background in project management and business operations to coaching, driven by the realization that her clients' core struggles weren't a lack of strategy, but issues rooted in energy, emotional patterns, and nervous system dysregulation. She explains that her unique approach goes beyond traditional mindset coaching to incorporate "energy leadership," focusing on the levels of conscious awareness and the power of choice in every decision.

Rina delves into her practice, detailing how she works one-on-one with clients—often "over-functioning founders" and service-based entrepreneurs—for 3 to 6 months to help them break cycles and achieve sustainable success. She reveals that the work often uncovers deep, unexpected root causes, from limiting internal dialogues to the impact of personal relationships on professional growth. Looking ahead, Rina's vision is to scale her impact by moving more into the corporate B2B space, aiming to bring her message of authentic leadership and internal alignment directly into organizations to transform teams and workplace dynamics.
