Sacred Leadership with Sherisse  Every ending asks two things of us at once: the practical work of closing, and the sacred work of honouring. In Part One of this reflection on endings, Sherisse sits at the balance point — the masculine that structures a completion and the feminine that feels it, the practical and the spiritual held in the same hand. What does it take to end something well? Not to rush the bow, not to pretend relief and grief cancel each other out, but to let both be true. An honest look at the frequency of letting go. 5 Key Takeaways Every ending requires both doing and being. Balance the practical work of closing with the emotional and spiritual work of honoring what is ending. Don’t rush through uncomfortable emotions. Allow yourself to feel grief, anger, frustration, or uncertainty before deciding what comes next. Grief and relief can exist at the same time. An ending can be painful while also creating freedom and space for something new. Give yourself permission to change your mind. Staying committed to something that no longer aligns can create anger, resentment, and dissatisfaction. Trust yourself and the guidance you receive. Endings can create space for new opportunities when you listen to your intuition instead of outside expectations. ~ More About Sacred Leadership with Sherisse ~  Sherisse Alexander is an Intuitive Business Coach, Entrepreneur, Podcast Host, and Sacred Leadership Mentor who empowers individuals to lead with purpose, authenticity, and confidence.

Sacred Leadership with Sherisse  If the last conversation taught you to notice the state you're in, this one hands you the lever to change it. Sherisse and Philip return to the body — this time through breath, the most immediate tool we have for shifting our own state on demand. Together they guide two live practices. First, the breath that calms and centers: how to come down, settle the nervous system, and return to ground when you're braced and constricted. Then the breath that energizes and brings you alive — not spacey or scattered, but locked in, present, and focused. The heart of the episode is knowing which one to reach for and when: how to read the state you're actually in and choose the breath that moves you toward center, whether you're coming down from too much or lifting up from too little. Both roads lead to the same place — present, grounded, available — and once you can find that on purpose, it changes how you lead. Come as you are, somewhere you can sit safely and breathe. A note on safety: this episode includes active breathwork. Please practice seated somewhere safe — never while driving or in water — and skip the energizing round if you are pregnant or have a heart condition, high blood pressure, epilepsy, or another condition affected by intense breathing. Let anything that arises move gently, and reach for support if you need it. Philip Hunt is the founder of Catalyst Coaching & Consulting and a manifestation coach who helps leaders and visionaries "Engineer Miracles" and build what he calls "True Wealth"'; a holistic prosperity rooted in purpose, integrity, and alignment. After a profound spiritual awakening, he walked away from a successful entertainment company and spent five years living on pure manifestation while providing for his family. From that journey he developed the Catalyst Framework. A system that lowers the "activation energy" required for transformation, so results unfold with greater ease. Today he consults with entrepreneurs, executives, and organizations on building profitable, purpose driven and resilient enterprises. www.PhilipHunt.coach 5 Key Takeaways / Highlights Your breath is one of the fastest and most effective tools for changing your state. Rather than remaining at the mercy of stress, fatigue, or overwhelm, intentional breathing allows you to calm your nervous system, increase focus, restore energy, and become more present in just a few conscious breaths. Awareness must come before regulation. Before choosing a breathing practice, first notice what is happening in your body. By recognizing whether you're anxious, fatigued, overwhelmed, or emotionally heavy, you can intentionally choose the type of breath that will bring you back to a grounded, centered state. Different breathing techniques serve different purposes. Energizing breaths help clear mental fog, increase alertness, and interrupt overthinking, while slower, gentler breaths create calm, quiet the mind, and open space for clarity, intuition, and thoughtful decision-making. Breath becomes even more powerful when combined with intention. Directing your attention toward areas of tension or emotional heaviness while breathing creates space for acknowledgement, release, and movement. Sometimes simply noticing and allowing an emotion is enough for it to begin letting go. Leadership begins with regulating yourself before leading others. Developing a consistent breathwork practice helps leaders respond instead of react, access greater clarity under pressure, process emotions more effectively, and show up with a calmer, more intentional presence in both business and life. ~ More About Sacred Leadership with Sherisse ~  Sherisse Alexander is an Intuitive Business Coach, Entrepreneur, Podcast Host, and Sacred Leadership Mentor who empowers individuals to lead with purpose, authenticity, and confidence.

Sacred Leadership with Sherisse  We ask leaders to hold everyone. We rarely ask who holds them. These last few months have not been easy. In this solo episode, Sherisse tells the truth about a hard stretch — the workload, yes, but more than that, the energetic toll of holding as much as she does. And she names the lonely story she caught herself believing: that when it really counts, a leader carries it alone. This is the honest account of what actually held her. Her Spirit Team, who reminded her the lonely story wasn't true. The channeling that delivered a message she didn't want to hear — you can't pour from an empty cup. The energy work she leaned on to move what had gone stuck and stale in her body. The readings that returned her to clarity when she was too foggy to find it herself. And the reminder those tools pointed her back to: a community of women who know her, who understand that this walk, for all its reward, can feel daunting and lonely — and who make it not-lonely. No tidy resolution. Just the truer answer to the question she started with — one she didn't expect. This is the work Sherisse does through Pavitra Leadership.

One of the most powerful realizations shared in this episode is that leaders cannot carry every responsibility alone. Having trusted people who can simply hold space, listen, and walk beside you is essential for sustainable leadership. True leadership requires integrating the practical with the spiritual. While strategy, planning, and execution matter, lasting clarity and resilience come from combining practical leadership with intuitive practices such as reflection, meditation, and learning to trust your inner guidance. Vulnerability creates connection and gives others permission to be authentic. By allowing herself to be honest about feeling overwhelmed, Charisse discovered that those around her also felt safe enough to share their own struggles. Authentic leadership is strengthened—not diminished—by genuine human connection. Your body, intuition, and inner wisdom are always communicating with you. Practices such as breathwork, meditation, automatic writing, mindful movement, and energy work help quiet the mental noise so you can recognize the guidance, clarity, and peace that are already available within you. The question every leader should ask is: "Who holds me?" Leadership often focuses on supporting everyone else, but this episode reminds us that resilient leaders intentionally build relationships, practices, and support systems that allow them to replenish, process challenges, and continue leading from a place of wholeness rather than depletion. ~ More About Sacred Leadership with Sherisse ~  Sherisse Alexander is an Intuitive Business Coach, Entrepreneur, Podcast Host, and Sacred Leadership Mentor who empowers individuals to lead with purpose, authenticity, and confidence.

Sacred Leadership with Sherisse  We talk a lot about leading from a grounded place. This episode asks the more honest question; do you actually know what grounded feels like in your body? Can you find your way back to it on demand? Sherisse sits down with Philip to start where most leadership conversations skip; the physiology. Before strategy, before vision, there's the nervous system. The difference between stress and constriction versus rest, ease and joy is something you can learn to feel in real time. This is a working episode, not just a talking one. Together, they guide a practice in somatic awareness, dropping into the body, noticing where you're holding tension, and learning to recognize the felt sense of each state so you can tell, moment to moment which one you're operating from. From there the conversation widens into why it matter. How the state you lead from shapes what you create. Why manifestation works through the body, not around it, and what sacred leadership looks like when it's grounded in nervous-system awareness rather than willpower. You can't lead others somewhere you can't find yourself first. Come as you are and maybe somewhere you can sit still for a few minutes.

Sacred Leadership with Sherisse  Sometimes the most honest episode is the one you didn't plan. In this solo reflection, Sherisse opens with a confession: she forgot. The recording slipped her mind, and she sat down unprepared — to talk about the very thing we all do quietly, all the time. We don't say the true thing. We perform readiness we don't feel. We hold the picture of having it together, even when there are a million things running underneath. This is an honest hour about the gap between what we say and what we carry — the expectations we strain to meet that were never ours to begin with, the equation that forgetting means failing, and the quiet cost of being the one who holds space for everyone else while carrying our own weight in silence. No tidy bow. Just the true thing, said out loud. ~ More About Sacred Leadership with Sherisse ~  Sherisse Alexander is an intuitive business coach, a business owner and entrepreneur and podcast host that is motivated by helping others to find meaning, purpose and fulfillment as leaders in their own lives.

Sacred Leadership with Sherisse  Philip Hunt is back. The last time he was here, something started...and neither of us has been able to leave it alone since. So we sat back down.

Sacred Leadership with Sherisse  A year ago, a direction came and I rejected it outright. This is the story of how the Divine patiently walked me back to the work I was made for — and what happened the day I finally said yes. This is a solo episode, and a personal one. About a year ago, an idea came to me about who I was meant to work with. And I said no. Flatly. I had my reasons, and I went off in the opposite direction, certain I knew better. The Divine had other plans — and a lot more patience than I did. In this episode, I share: The direction I resisted, and the honest, unflattering reason I pushed it away. How it came back — not by force, but through three quiet conversations and finally through my own daughter, who saw what I couldn't. The moment in my office with a friend that showed me I was already doing this work, I just hadn't named it. What I've come to understand about how much men carry, and the one thing most of them were never given. A real-time lesson in receiving a direction without immediately trying to force it into being. The reminder my own spirit gave me: you'll build it, and they will come. This is an episode about resistance, surrender, and the strange grace of being walked home to the very thing you swore you'd never do. And toward the end, I share something new that's coming. I won't name it yet — it isn't fully formed, and that's exactly the point of this episode. But if you're a man carrying something heavy, or you love one who is, stay close. There's going to be a place for that soon. A reflection to sit with: What's the thing you've said you'd never do — that keeps quietly finding its way back to you? ~ More About Sacred Leadership with Sherisse ~  Sherisse Alexander is an intuitive business coach, a business owner and entrepreneur and podcast host that is motivated by helping others to find meaning, purpose and fulfillment as leaders in their own lives.

Sacred Leadership with Sherisse  You've done the surfacing. You've done the reckoning. You've released what's no longer yours to carry. And now you're sitting in the question almost no one prepares you for: now what? In this episode, Sherisse explores what happens in the space after release — the discomfort of empty rooms, the temptation to fill silence with anything just to make it stop, and the practice of staying when staying is the work. Through her own lived experience of holding multiple "now whats" at once, she offers a teaching on becoming a vessel rather than a planner. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is wait. ~ More About Sacred Leadership with Sherisse ~  Sherisse Alexander is an intuitive business coach, a business owner and entrepreneur and podcast host that is motivated by helping others to find meaning, purpose and fulfillment as leaders in their own lives.

Sacred Leadership with Sherisse  What does leadership cost the body? In a world where men are often taught to lead with strength, control, and resilience, there is a quieter, less visible reality—one that lives beneath performance, beneath success, beneath the surface. In this conversation, we explore the intersection of leadership, masculinity, and the body. Because while many men are conditioned to push through, override, and suppress, the body does not forget. It holds. It absorbs. And eventually, it speaks. Together with Jonathan Locust, we move beyond titles and into truth—examining how stress, pressure, identity, and emotional suppression show up physically, and what it means for men to begin listening before the body forces them to. This is not a conversation about weakness. It’s a conversation about awareness. About alignment. About redefining strength in a way that is sustainable, human, and real. Because the question is not whether the body is speaking. It’s whether we are willing to listen. Dr. Jonathan Locust Jr. is a researcher and the Founder of ConsciRise, a platform helping people heal and grow through community and self-awareness.
