What if leadership wasn’t about titles, control, or hustle—but about presence, self-awareness, and purpose?

In this special episode of the Internally Guided Life podcast, I’m sharing my full Conscious Leadership presentation from the KHRA 2025 Annual Conference. This talk is for anyone who feels called to lead differently—whether you’re in HR, people management, entrepreneurship, or simply navigating your own growth as a leader in life and work.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why we need a new kind of leadership in today’s world

• What conscious leadership really means—and what it doesn’t

• The power of self-awareness as the foundation for sustainable, effective leadership

• How inner growth transforms your leadership presence and your relationships

• Practical ways to begin cultivating conscious leadership in your own life and career

I believe leadership is no longer just about strategy—it’s about soul. And conscious leadership asks us to go inward before we go outward. It invites us to lead from alignment, from truth, and from within.

Whether you're a seasoned leader or just starting to find your voice, this episode will help you reconnect with what truly matters and give you a grounded framework for leading with more clarity, confidence, and compassion.

What if everything you’ve been told about thriving only scratches the surface?

In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode of Internally Guided Life, I’m joined by transformation facilitator, coach, and podcast host Heather Stewart for a powerful conversation about the real path to thriving—not the curated highlight reel or the productivity-driven version, but the soul-deep, harmony-rooted, self-honoring kind of thriving.

Together, we unpack the truth: thriving isn’t about achieving more, doing it all, or fitting into someone else’s version of success. It’s about coming into alignment with who you really are—beyond the titles, roles, and expectations—and creating a life that feels nourishing, purposeful, and spacious enough for joy.

Heather shares her journey from CPA to creator of the Thriving Life Method™, and how she learned to weave together the many parts of herself—from wellness and spirituality to business and creativity. Through her story, we explore the courage it takes to change, the evolution of identity, and the freedom found in living a more integrated life.

If you’ve ever felt the tension between who you are and who you’re becoming—this episode is for you. It’s a loving reminder that thriving doesn’t mean getting it all right. It means showing up honestly, following your curiosity, and living in a way that honors all of you.

Meet Heather Stewart:

Heather Stewart is a dynamic force in the world of transformation. With a background in corporate finance as a CPA and an unshakable devotion to holistic wellness, Heather has spent the last decade helping women in midlife rediscover their purpose, reclaim their joy, and rewrite the script of what’s possible.

As the creator of The Thriving Life Method™, Heather helps overwhelmed overachievers reconnect with their inner wisdom and design lives of intention, passion, and balance—from the inside out. Her signature framework focuses on six core areas: Body, Emotion, Community, Occupation, Money, and Engagement—offering a roadmap to wellness and wholeness that actually works in real life.

Heather is also the host of Back to Me: Exploring Wellness Your Way, a podcast that invites listeners to rediscover themselves beyond the roles they’ve been handed. Her work has been featured in Women’s World Magazine, ELLE Canada, and Yahoo Finance, and her story continues to inspire thousands around the world to trust their path—even when it looks wildly different than they imagined.

Have you ever felt like parts of yourself are hidden beneath the surface—parts that feel too messy, too intense, or too unworthy to be seen? What if those very parts hold the key to your deepest wisdom, power, and authenticity?

In this episode of Internally Guided Life, I sit down with Emily Nascimento for a deep, soulful conversation about shadow work—the courageous process of reclaiming the parts of ourselves we’ve learned to suppress. Rooted in Jungian psychology, shadow work invites us to explore the aspects of our psyche that we’ve pushed into the unconscious—our fears, wounds, and insecurities, yes, but also our greatest strengths, creativity, and unclaimed brilliance.

Why does this matter? Because the more we suppress, the more these hidden parts shape our thoughts, behaviors, and leadership from the shadows. The more we embrace and integrate them, the more we step into our full, wholehearted, and empowered selves.

This conversation isn’t about just talking about shadow work—it’s about guiding you through it. We explore:

• What shadow work is and why certain parts of ourselves were exiled—and how to welcome them home

• Shadow work exercises to identify, engage with, and integrate these hidden aspects of self
• The connection between shadow work and leadership—how self-awareness helps us lead with integrity and prevent self-sabotage
• How to recognize triggers and projections—clues from the external world that point to our own wholeness

• How shadow work frees up energy, allowing us to move through life with greater confidence, clarity, and authenticity

Shadow work isn’t just about facing our darkness—it’s about reclaiming our light. It’s the work of self-liberation, of coming back to the fullness of who we are meant to be. It’s about stepping beyond fear and into bold authenticity.

Whether you’re just starting your shadow work journey or looking for deeper shadow work exercises, this episode will give you the insights and practical tools you need to begin integrating your shadow and stepping into your full power.

This is the work of coming home to yourself. This is the path to inner freedom. Are you ready to explore your shadow?

She believes that our most sacred gift to the world is our own healing and soul-embodiment.

Episode Description

What does it take to command a room—not through force, but through presence, confidence, and deep listening? In this episode of Internally Guided Life, I sit down with leadership consultant and The Facilitation Advantage co-author Therese Miclot to explore the foundations of leadership presence and confidence.

We discuss how self-awareness, mindset, and the ability to truly listen can transform not only how others perceive you but also how you show up in leadership and life. Whether you're leading a team, speaking up in meetings, or simply wanting to cultivate a stronger presence in your daily interactions, this conversation is packed with insights to help you step into your power.

Therese shares her deeply personal journey into leadership development and we dive into practical strategies for building confidence, making an impact through communication, and ensuring that your voice is heard—without feeling like you need to dominate the conversation.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to show up more boldly, communicate more effectively, and lead with authenticity.

What You'll Take Away from This Episode:

• The true meaning of leadership presence—and why it’s not about having all the answers

• The hidden power of deep listening and why it can elevate your leadership instantly

• Simple but powerful communication strategies to command attention and respect

• Why confidence isn’t about speaking more, but choosing your words intentionally

• Practical steps to own your voice in meetings and professional spaces

Meet the Guest:

With a Master’s in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and over two decades of experience, she has helped Fortune 500 companies and startups alike transform their leadership pipelines.

Her passion for leadership development stems from personal experience—watching her mother struggle under poor management after the sudden loss of her father. This inspired her to create resources that equip leaders to foster supportive, empowering environments where people thrive.

Now, as the Director of Facilitation Excellence at Proteus International, she helps professionals step into their power, communicate with clarity, and lead with confidence.
