🎙️ Episode 19 — Follow First: The Hidden Beginning of Every Great Leader

Series: Follow First — How Authentic Leaders Are Formed

Before you ever held a title, carried a vision, or led a team — you followed.

In this kickoff episode of our new series, Follow First, we peel back the layers of leadership to reveal what often gets overlooked: the hidden beginning.

Amanda shares how every authentic leader begins not with a platform, but with proximity — to mentors, to Jesus, and to their truest self. Through powerful reflection and storytelling, you’ll be invited to consider the voices that have shaped you and the ones you're following right now. Because leadership doesn’t begin with charisma or expertise. It begins with alignment.

If you’re ready to re-center your leadership on what really matters — presence over performance, formation over applause — this episode is your invitation to return to the Source.

✨ Explore:

• The danger of leading without first being led

• Why Jesus' model of leadership begins with intimacy and presence

• How your earliest influences still shape your leadership today

• A reframed definition of success rooted in alignment, not outcomes

• A preview of The Way of Metanoia — a transformative rhythm of pause, return, and embodiment

• Explore the Authentic Leadership Collective — an invitation-only space for courageous, spiritually rooted leaders

In this powerful conclusion to The New Rules of Self-Leadership, Amanda Rohrer reminds us that the most transformational decisions don’t require outside validation — they require inner conviction. Whether you’ve been waiting on a sign, a title, or someone else's approval, this episode invites you to stop waiting and step boldly into what’s already been entrusted to you.

You don’t need permission from your boss, your denomination, or your past self to say yes to the next right thing.

You just need to trust what you already know.

This isn’t about recklessness — it’s about clarity.

It’s about courage rooted in your why.

Amanda shares the story of her own delayed yes, the freedom that came when she finally moved forward, and a series-wide recap of the five micro-shifts that can change everything in how you lead yourself and others.

This episode is your invitation to stop seeking permission and start living like it’s already true.

✨ Includes:

• A personal story of stepping into coaching without permission

• Reflections on fear disguised as wisdom

• A recap of all 5 episodes in this embodied self-leadership series

• Three soul-searching reflection questions

• A coaching call to action for those ready to stop waiting and start leading authentically

Episode 17 — The New Rules of Self-Leadership: Part 4 Action as Alignment - Living From Who You Already Are

What if the breakthrough you’re waiting for isn’t about becoming someone new…

but believing in who you already are — because of Who lives within you?

In Part 4 of our “New Rules of Self-Leadership” series, Amanda invites us into one of the most radical shifts of all: acting from alignment, not pressure. This episode is an invitation to stop striving and start leading from presence — from the truth that Christ already dwells within you.

You’ll learn why the most powerful leadership move isn’t about doing something different… it’s about finally believing what’s already true.

You’ll hear:

• Why alignment is a shift from pressure to presence

• What it really means to live from the God who already dwells within you

• How Amanda’s recent moment of doubt became a personal anchor for faith

• Powerful reflection questions to realign your actions with identity

✨ Don’t wait for more confirmation.

✨ Don’t wait until you feel ready.

Live like it’s already true — and watch what unfolds.
