Your title doesn’t make you a leader — your Why does.
Press play to reconnect with what fuels you and anchor into leadership that’s rooted, rested, and real.

In the premiere episode of The Becoming Table Talk, Dr. Laryssa Creswell, joins co-hosts Shawn Anderson, LaTrise Wilson, and Crystal Funderburk to explore a foundational leadership question: Why do you show up?

This episode offers practical guidance for BIPOC women in the helping professions who want to develop emotionally grounded leadership, build self-trust, prioritize well-being, cultivate sustainable growth, and lead without burnout.

Listeners will learn:

• How to define and reconnect with your leadership purpose
• How to build trust through alignment and consistency
• How to create a personalized leadership roadmap
• How to grow through reflection, community, and rest

Perfect for therapists, social workers, educators, healthcare professionals, and emerging leaders who want to lead with intention — not survival mode.
