Higher Self Leadership, In between

In this episode of In-Between: A Higher Self-Leadership Podcast, host Valarie Sandjivy dives deep into the overused yet misunderstood concept of authenticity. Beyond trendy buzzwords and social media performances, she explores what it truly means to be authentic—from a leadership and soul-aligned perspective.

Valarie challenges the idea that authenticity equals raw oversharing or polished vulnerability. Instead, she invites us to view authenticity as presence—being fully engaged with what life is presenting, with our mission, our emotions, and with others. True authenticity, she argues, is an energetic resonance that emerges from congruence between what we say, what we feel, and how we act—especially behind the scenes.

Through personal insight and thought-provoking prompts, Valarie encourages leaders, CEOs, and visionaries to ask: Where am I wearing a mask? Where am I performing a version of myself? And where am I not truly present?

This episode is a powerful call to drop the mask, embrace your humanness, and reconnect with your soul's voice—because the world is not craving perfection, it’s craving presence.

In this powerful kickoff to her new leadership series, Valarie challenges the common belief that leadership must be a lonely path. Instead of reinforcing the idea that "it's lonely at the top," she invites us to reshape this narrative — because what if it’s not lonely, just less crowded?

Speaking directly to high-achieving CEOs, entrepreneurs, and visionaries, Valarie explores how the “self-made” identity often prevents leaders from seeking support, reinforcing isolation and over-responsibility. But growth doesn’t have to come through struggle alone. Through deep insight, personal stories, and practical tools, she shares how we can collapse time on our learnings — not by bypassing experience, but by accelerating our integration of it.

This series is a blend of mindset work, energetic activations, and actionable leadership wisdom to help you climb higher without burnout. It’s an invitation to shift from isolation to empowered creation — and to inspire others to join the climb.

You’re not alone. Let’s make sure it doesn’t feel that way.

In this episode of In-Between: A Higher Self Leadership Podcast, Valarie redefines success—not as a destination or achievement but as a continuous evolution. She challenges leaders, CEOs, and visionaries to break free from borrowed definitions of success shaped by society, social media, and external expectations.

Using the metaphor of an orchestra, she illustrates that true success comes from playing our unique note in harmony with the collective. Success isn’t about metrics or material gains but about alignment—being in tune with our mission, purpose, and the world. She invites leaders to embrace their own frequency, lead authentically, and inspire others to do the same.

Ultimately, success is a state of being where fulfillment arises from living and leading in alignment with our soul’s purpose. Are you chasing someone else’s definition, or are you playing your true note?

Tune in now to shift your perspective on success.

In this episode, Valarie takes us on an inspiring journey through her dynamic career, marked by constant evolution, reinvention, and bold pivots. From being an expat and corporate leader to launching and reshaping her own business multiple times, she shares how embracing change has been the key to her growth.

She challenges the idea of failure, reframing it as an opportunity to gain wisdom and move forward with deeper insight. Leadership, she argues, is about mastering the art of reinvention—letting go of what no longer serves us and stepping courageously into the unknown. But change isn’t easy; it requires resilience, a willingness to navigate uncertainty, and the ability to release societal expectations.

Through personal stories and thought-provoking insights, Valarie explores the power of adaptability, the cost of freedom, and the mindset shifts necessary to thrive in ever-evolving landscapes. She invites listeners to reflect on their own season of life and business—are you in a phase of creation, transition, or resistance?

If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncertain, or hesitant to take the next leap, this episode will inspire you to trust the process, embrace transformation, and step into your next chapter with confidence.

Valarie’s latest podcast dives into the power of acceptance in leadership—a strength often overlooked. She shares her personal journey, revealing how, early in her career, she felt the pressure to always have the answers. Over time, she realized that true leadership doesn’t come from control or immediate solutions but from embracing uncertainty and allowing space for new insights to emerge.

She explores the illusion of control, the fear of appearing weak, and how leaders often resist pausing because they equate stillness with stagnation. Yet, it’s in these moments of pause that the best ideas surface. Valarie draws powerful parallels with music, nature, and movement, illustrating how moments of stillness create the space for innovation.

She offers practical advice: acknowledge when you don’t know, breathe, create space for new perspectives, and trust the process. Instead of forcing solutions, she encourages leaders to lean into uncertainty—because that’s where growth happens.

This episode is a game-changer for anyone in leadership. If you’ve ever struggled with the pressure to “know it all,” this conversation will shift your perspective and empower you to lead with trust and flow.

In this thought-provoking episode, Valarie challenges the conventional pursuit of perfection and reveals how it can limit personal and professional growth. She explores three key layers of perfection:

1. Perfection is Limiting – Striving for perfection in every aspect of life is impossible; it forces us to prioritize, often at the expense of flexibility and creativity.

2. Perfection is Rooted in Lack – The need for perfection stems from a fear of not being enough, leading to a constant chase for external validation.

3. Perfection Already Exists – Everything unfolds as it should, offering the perfect opportunities for growth, transformation, and mastery—if we shift our perspective.

Valarie connects these insights to leadership, emphasizing that every challenge, setback, or unexpected turn is an invitation to evolve. By embracing the duality of successes and struggles, leaders can cultivate resilience and wisdom, allowing them to navigate complexity with confidence.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to release the illusion of control and step into a more empowered, conscious way of leading. What if everything happening right now is already perfect for your growth? Tune in and discover a new way to approach leadership and life.

In this insightful episode, Valarie explores a powerful leadership analogy: the river and its banks. Without structure (the banks), leadership energy flows chaotically, but if the structure is too rigid, growth is stifled. Finding the right balance between structure and flow is the key to effective leadership.

She introduces four essential pillars that create a strong leadership framework:

1. Leading Yourself – Defining your vision, values, and purpose.

2. Leading Others – Building trust, fostering growth, and empowering teams.

3. E-Mastery – Emotional intelligence, expansion, and adaptability.

4. Soul Care – Balancing professional success with personal fulfillment.

Once this foundation is in place, true leadership creativity—represented by the flowing river—can emerge. Valarie emphasizes that innovation and visionary ideas don’t arise from rigid control but from a well-structured, yet flexible, system that allows expansion.

She challenges leaders to reflect: Is your structure supporting your vision, or is it limiting you? Are you expanding or shrinking in your leadership journey?

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to elevate their leadership, embrace both structure and creativity, and play a bigger game in business and life.

Valarie’s podcast explores the profound dynamics of giving and receiving, challenging the common belief that they are directly linked. She shares her personal journey of realizing that while she excelled at giving, receiving was a struggle, leading her to investigate deeper emotional and structural barriers.

She introduces the idea that receiving requires a strong yet flexible structure—like a glass holding water—emphasizing that if our internal foundation is weak or rigid, we may block what we desire. Through self-reflection, she uncovers limiting beliefs around worthiness, obligation, and discomfort in receiving, which often lead people to reject or cling too tightly to what they receive.

Connecting this concept to leadership, Valarie highlights how leaders must master both giving and receiving to foster innovation, expansion, and sustainable growth. She argues that true leadership is about creating structures that can both hold and adapt to new ideas, support teams, and expand vision. Ultimately, she reframes giving and receiving as separate yet complementary forces, both essential in the flow of leadership and creation.

This insightful episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to balance ambition with receptivity and unlock new levels of growth and leadership.

What if compliance wasn’t just about following rules? In this thought-provoking episode, Valarie invites us to explore a deeper perspective on compliance in leadership. Beyond mere obedience, we realize that we conform to much more than formal rules—our family, our friends, our beliefs, our emotions, and even our fear of change.

But what happens if we choose to comply with our soul, with our highest vision? Are we ready to move beyond rigid structures and step into a more inspiring form of leadership, where rules are not meant to be broken but reinvented to serve collective growth?

Valarie challenges our perception of norms: are we leaders who enforce fixed structures, or do we create environments where people can truly rise? True leadership is not about blindly following rules, but about consciously choosing the structures that support a vision while transcending those that limit.

She urges us to reflect: what if rejecting blind compliance was the key to transformation? How can we play beyond the rules—not as rebels, but as architects of a new paradigm? It’s not about destroying everything, but about redesigning a space where innovation and expansion take precedence over repetition and stagnation.

As the episode comes to a close, one powerful question lingers: what am I complying with? Does it serve me, or does it limit me? A powerful inner journey for any leader seeking to create a greater impact.
