This solo episode of the Balanced Self Podcast explores the theme “Know Thyself: Using Self-Awareness to Align Your Values, Strengths, and Life Direction.” Barbara Fitch reflects on how leaders can recognize when their actions drift away from their core values, the ways strengths can sometimes become blind spots, and why ongoing self-awareness is essential for authentic leadership. Designed as a reflective conversation, the episode encourages listeners to pause, journal, and apply the insights to their own leadership journey.
