What does untaming look like and how do we do it? This is a real coaching session from the Untamed Leader Spring Retreat: Embody Your Vision — unscripted, embodied, and alive.

Dana is stepping into a new chapter: retiring from her career, feeling called to “ocean” more, and finding out what living with more presence, intention, and impact feels like in her body. What you’ll witness is the untaming process in real time: two trees, two ways of being, and the question underneath it all.

As you listen, put yourself in Dana’s shoes. Ask yourself the same questions. Notice what comes up in your own body. This conversation isn’t just hers, it’s yours too.

In this episode:

• The difference between fire under your ass and fire in your heart
• The safety question underneath many untaming decisions
• How frequency, not status, guides the untamed leader

If you’ve ever felt the pull between the life that looks right and the one that feels true — this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways

1. There’s a difference between fire under your ass and fire in your heart. One burns you out. The other fuels you forward.
2. Confirming in the “tree farm” gives you credibility, standing, and external validation. It can also cost you yourself. 
3. Either/or thinking is usually a lie. When you trust yourself new options become clear and you can go anywhere.
4. External validation and inner calling pull in opposite directions. Knowing which one is driving your decisions changes everything.
5. One important question lurking underneath untaming moments: “Is it safe to be who I actually am?”
6. When you’re present, you’re safe. Presence is not a condition of the environment, it’s something you carry.
7. Leadership is a landscape, not a ladder. There is no top tree. There is only your tree.
8. Untamed Leaders make decisions by frequency, not by status or prestige. You can feel the difference in your body.a
