What if your imperfections were actually your leadership edge?
In this episode of The Happy Stack Podcast, Terri-Ann Richards explores the concept of being “flawsome”—the fusion of flaws and awesomeness.
Through personal stories and honest insight, she challenges the myth of perfection in leadership and celebrates the power of showing up as your full, authentic self.
If you’ve ever doubted your value because of your quirks or past mistakes, this episode will remind you that your humanness is your strength.

- True leadership shines through authenticity, not perfection
- Flaws aren’t failures—they’re features that connect you to others
- Emotional honesty fosters stronger teams and trust
