This Is What Leadership Actually Looks Like

Episode Summary

What does it really mean to lead? In this solo episode, Deidre Sirianni breaks down the myths of leadership and invites you into the truth of what embodied leadership actually looks like. She shares vulnerable stories from her own life, including a raw moment during an advanced coaching retreat when she was called out for performing rather than being real — and what that moment revealed about her identity and her power. Whether you're leading a movement, your business, or your own healing journey, this episode will help you reclaim your truth, show up when it’s hard, and turn your light on in a whole new way.
