Illustrating Leadership Lesson: Aligning Your Inner & Outer Life

Some of the most impactful leaders in our lives do not come with titles, corner offices, or formal authority.

They enter our lives through relationship.

They challenge us, ground us, mirror us, and sometimes even break our hearts before helping us put ourselves back together with more clarity, self-trust, and wholeness.

That truth sat at the center of this episode of the Illustrating Leadership Podcast, where I had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Brenda Brummond, an intuitive business coach for female entrepreneurs. What unfolded was not just a conversation about leadership, but about evolution, forgiveness, grounding, and the balance between ambition and inner alignment.
