I'm excited to share this special episode of the podcast that features a conversation with Cristin Talentino and Sydney Bloom, two skilled leadership development practitioners based in Canada who are doing deep and transformational work.

This episode came about when Cristin tagged the Center for Courageous Wholeness in a post on LinkedIn. She noted that when she first heard about our work, she was inclined to view us as a competitor who she needed to out-hustle. But she decided to lean into her belief in trust and abundance, and lift us up as allies rather than fear us as competitors. She also lifted up the great work of Sydney Blum in the same spirit of collaboration.

I found the post--and the sentiment behind it--to be powerful and moving. We ended up deciding to connect to learn more about each other, and record the conversation as a podcast episode.

So this is the first time the three of us have ever spoken together. It's a powerful conversation about leadership, intuition, the power of the natural world, trust, abundance and collaboration.
