What if the most powerful move you can make as a leader isn’t to control more, but to trust yourself more? Today I share a client story that reveals how tiny, aligned choices can turn relentless overwhelm into a grounded, confident way of being. This is a real transformation: naming inner saboteurs, learning to pause before reacting, and choosing actions that nourish rather than deplete.
We walk through the m...
What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t mindset, but safety?
In this episode of Unchartered & Unfiltered: A Journey Back to You, Cynthia Jamieson pulls back the curtain on the invisible ways high-integrity leaders abandon themselves — and how to finally come home.
You’ll learn:
- Why “doing all the right things” can still leave you feeling disconnected.
- The real cost of self-doubt (and how it drains your aliveness).
- ...
Sometimes leadership looks like running a race you’re not sure you’re ready for.
In this episode, Cynthia shares a story from her 17k Bootstrap Boogie run — a course made of grass, beach, clay, shale, trail, and boardwalk — and every emotional terrain in between. What began as a morning of self-doubt became a powerful reminder of what happens when we trust our presence more than our pressure.
Through moments of laughter...
After four decades in HR, I thought I’d taken every assessment that could tell me who I am: Myers-Briggs, DISC, StrengthsFinder, Predictive Index — all of it. But last week I discovered a map that went deeper than personality. It touched the why behind how I serve.
In this conversation, I share what happened when I learned that the ruler of my 10th house — the part of the birth chart linked to purpose — is Saturn … and...
What if the version of success you’ve built is quietly costing you your peace?
I know that question intimately.
For years, I was leading everyone but myself.
From the outside, my career looked solid: respected HR leader, steady paycheque, all the boxes ticked.
But on the inside, I was running on adrenaline and calling it normal.
Then one day, a single corporate announcement forced me to choose between comfort and...
What if the voice you’ve been taught to question is the one that’s been trying to lead you home all along?
In this episode, I trace the through line of my work and my why: self-trust. From the “performance grids” of corporate life to a quiet stairway moment that changed everything, I unpack the shift from external authority → internal authority and how we rebuild trust in ourselves—especially when feedback, systems, o...
In this deeply personal episode, Cynthia shares how running a half marathon became a living metaphor for leadership, self-trust, and growth.
From months of training and tapering, to full-circle encounters with mentors and old friends, to the moment she chose to run her own race instead of pushing to keep up — this story shows how slowing down and listening to your inner wisdom can transform the way you lead.
You’ll disc...
We live in a culture that worships self-awareness — as if naming the problem should magically fix it. But here’s the truth: awareness alone doesn’t change a thing.
In this episode, I share why awareness is often just self-criticism dressed up as insight, and what actually creates transformation: practice. You’ll hear stories from my own life (and my Saturday Park Run) as well as from clients who are learning to shift f...
Sometimes the universe flips your plans upside down. What you thought would be resistance turns out to be grace. What looked like disruption becomes a gift.
In this special episode of Unchartered & Unfiltered: A Journey Back to You, I take you behind the scenes of the 45th Anniversary Terry Fox Marathon of Hope — where nearly 10,000 people walked, ran, and wheeled across Canada’s longest bridge, raising over $830,0...
What makes a life meaningful? What creates a legacy that ripples for generations? These questions crystallized for me upon learning about Lorraine, a Canadian giant in disability rights advocacy who recently passed away after 50+ years of transformative work.
Leadership has never been about titles or spotlight moments. It's about showing up again and again with persistence and conviction to make space fo...
Most of us would rather wait for a prescription than give ourselves what we already know we need.
In this episode of Unchartered and Unfiltered: A Journey Back to You, Cynthia Jamieson explores why prescriptions feel safer than self-trust, and how this shows up in leadership and life. From waiting for your boss to set priorities, to saying yes when you’re already at capacity, to hoping your company will sponsor coachin...
“You can’t water the roses if you’re stepping on the hose.”
This simple yet powerful metaphor captures what so many high-integrity leaders feel today: labouring under invisible weights while cutting off their own flow of wisdom, energy, and creativity.
But what if leadership didn’t have to mean working harder? What if it could mean letting the water flow again?
In this reflective episode, Cynthia Jamieson explores how ou...
Clarity doesn’t always show up neat — sometimes it arrives through the mess. In this episode of Unchartered & Unfiltered: A Journey Back to You, Cynthia shares the raw and magical breakthrough that came from a simple but powerful question:

In this episode of Unchartered and Unfiltered — A Journey Back to You, I’m sharing the journey of a leader who was stuck in the exhausting cycle of trying to manage how people saw them. From over-explaining to emotional contortionist, they believed that if they just “got it right,” others would finally see their worth.
Spoiler alert: That’s not how it works.

What happens when the version of you that earns the applause… isn’t actually you?
In this week's episode, we’re curling up on the couch together — just you and me — for a conversation about what it really costs to survive in systems that were never built with you in mind. I’ll share a moment from a recent coaching session that broke my heart, lit a fire in my chest, and reminded me why I do this work.
You’ll hear t...
Have you ever noticed something withering in the corner of your workspace and walked right past it? That neglected detail might be telling you something crucial about your leadership.
During a recent getaway to Quebec City, I found myself in a once-beloved coffee shop that had clearly lost its way. The dying plant in the corner, the dusty windows, the debris on the floor, and the rushed, impersonal service to...
