32: From Boss to Dear Friend: A Journey of Leadership, Healing, and Transformation

Send us a text

In this special episode, I sit down with my former boss turned dear friend Carmela—a woman who deeply shaped my journey as both a leader and a human. We reflect on the moments that made our bond so meaningful and how her heart-centered leadership was the first spark in my own transformation.

We talk about:

• The power of compassionate leadership in a results-driven world
• How coaching helped both of us become more authentic, self-aware, and connected
• Our personal transformation journeys—from seeking validation to living from the heart
• What it truly means to be seen, heard, and supported at work and in life

This is more than a conversation. It’s a reminder that connection and humanity are the most powerful forces for change.
