What happens when leadership stops being performance… and starts becoming truth?

In this powerful episode, Cathy LaCognata opens up about surviving Hurricane Sandy, rebuilding after devastating loss, leading through COVID, and creating a business rooted in psychological safety instead of fear.

This is not another conversation about hustle culture or productivity hacks.

This is a conversation about:

• Authentic leadership
• Building safe spaces
• Emotional recovery
• Leadership loneliness
• Learning to trust yourself again
• Listening as a leadership skill
• Resilience after trauma

Together, Cathy and Maxine Attong unpack how personal healing transforms business leadership and why the future of leadership may depend less on authority and more on humanity.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted by performative leadership, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.
