What if the key to leading well isn’t control, but congruence?
In this soul-nourishing episode of the Holistic Healing Podcast, Marnie Swedberg joins host Luam to share decades of wisdom on what it truly means to lead, live, and speak with purpose. From her earliest lessons as a 14-year-old working with entrepreneurs to founding WomenSpeakers.com, Marnie has stayed grounded in her faith while guiding others to find power in their uniqueness. She opens up about impostor syndrome, ego traps in leadership, and the secret to lasting confidence: knowing you are already enough.
Marnie Swedberg is an international leadership mentor, keynote speaker, and author of 14 books. She’s the founder of WomenSpeakers.com, the world’s largest directory of Christian women speakers, and host of a #1-ranked radio talk show.
