If you’ve ever felt like your worth is tied to how much you achieve—or that leadership is just one more weight on your already overfull shoulders—this episode is for you.
In this conversation, Traci Peterson sits down with April Diaz, a holistic leadership expert, to talk about why women in leadership often feel stretched thin, undervalued, and exhausted. Together, they uncover the truth: real leadership doesn’t come from hustling harder, it comes from alignment across every part of your life.
April introduces her six-dimensional framework for holistic leadership—physical, emotional, mental, relational, spiritual, and renewal. Each dimension reveals both the pitfalls women fall into and the keys to reclaiming strength, joy, and purpose in their leadership journey.
You’ll hear them unpack why physical well-being is foundational (yes, even hydration and breath work), how stress sneaks in and sabotages your confidence, and why so many women still struggle to be assertive in leadership roles. They also shine a light on the biblical word “Azer”—a reminder that leadership is not about doing it all alone, but about strength and partnership.
By the end, you’ll be reminded that leadership isn’t reserved for titles or positions. Every woman is leading somewhere—whether in her home, her career, or her community—and small intentional changes can unlock profound transformation.
