For years, I thought being a good leader meant staying in control, holding it together, and powering through. I was praised for my results—but inside, I was reactive, impatient, and disconnected from my emotions.
Sound familiar?
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the most overlooked yet transformative leadership skills: emotional mastery.
If you’ve ever snapped at your team and regretted it later...
If you avoid tough conversations because you hate emotional tension...
If you feel pressure to “have it all together” but secretly feel overwhelmed…
This episode is for you.
I’ll walk you through my signature CLEAR Method—a five-step process to help you feel, process, and lead with your emotions in real time. You’ll learn how to stop overthinking or avoiding your emotions and start relating to them with clarity, curiosity, and compassion.
Emotional mastery isn’t about being calm all the time. It’s about leading from your truth, not your triggers. It’s how you build deep trust, inspire your team, and make clear, grounded decisions.
This work changed my life—and the lives of my clients. And I know it can change yours too.
Let’s dive in. 💛
