We talk a lot about leadership in boardrooms, but what about the leadership that happens in living rooms?

In this conversation, I’m joined by Soraiya Bodhi and Nishma Karim—two powerhouse educators, mothers, and co-creators of The Light Movement, a global community dedicated to raising conscious children by first raising conscious adults.

Together, we unpack what it means to lead with love—not just at work, but in our homes, our relationships and within ourselves. If you're someone who's breaking cycles, healing out loud or trying to model something better for the next generation, this one’s for you.

We get into:

🧠 The connection between self-healing and conscious leadership
💥 Why emotional intelligence starts with how we speak to our kids (and ourselves)
🌿 How to stay grounded in a world that keeps pulling you out of alignment
🔥 What it looks like to lead from clarity, not control
💡 Why the future of work has to include more humanity, wholeness and care

This is leadership, redefined—not as performance, but as presence.
Because Happy Leadership doesn’t start with KPIs. It starts with how we show up when no one’s watching.

Happy Leaders don’t wait until they “feel ready.”
They show up as their whole selves—awkward, empowered and unfiltered.

Because confidence?
It’s not a personality trait.
It’s a leadership skill.

In this episode, I’m joined by Kinzie Elizabeth (they/she), founder of The Empowerment Studio, for a game-changing conversation about what it really takes to feel good in your body, on camera and in your life.

This isn’t another self-love chat with cute affirmations.
This is about unlearning shame, building trust with yourself and making being seen a power move—not a performance.

We get into:

📸 What photo fear reveals about how you see yourself—and how you lead

💥 The confidence myth that’s keeping high-achievers small

🧠 The emotional weight of visibility—and how to carry it differently

🌿 What it really means to build body-trust, not just body image

🔥 Why showing up fully is a non-negotiable for Happy Leadership

If you’ve been waiting to feel “ready” before stepping forward—this is the nudge you didn’t know you needed.

The Happy Leader Playbook is your blueprint for designing a work life that fuels you—not drains you.

Happy leadership isn’t about being liked.

It’s about being real.

It’s about knowing your worth—and having the courage to back yourself in rooms that weren’t built for you.

Because you can’t lead with impact if you keep silencing yourself to keep the peace.

This week, I’m joined by Neelu Kaur—executive coach, inclusion advocate and author of Be Your Own Cheerleader—for a firestarter conversation on self-advocacy, identity and how to stop waiting for permission to take up space.

We get into:

🧠 Why high-achieving women still play small—and how to break the pattern

🔥 What “speaking up” actually looks like in rooms full of power dynamics

💡 The cultural conditioning that keeps leaders over-delivering and under-valued

🗣️ Tactical self-advocacy strategies for corporate spaces that weren’t designed for you

⚡ How Happy Leaders build careers rooted in agency, alignment, and unapologetic self-trust

If you’ve ever dimmed your light to make others comfortable, this episode will remind you that...

You are the damn light.
