075 | Drop the Act: Why Transparent Leaders Build Stronger Teams

Send us a text

On the outside, you look composed. Capable. Unshakable.

On the inside?

You’re holding your breath, smiling through the sting, and hoping no one sees the blisters.

In this episode, we’re talking about the invisible pressure to perform as a leader, how it sneaks in through high standards, polished presentations, and yes, even cute-but-painful shoes. This isn’t about appearances. It’s about the cost of pretending to be fine when you’re not.

Because the strongest leaders aren’t unreadable. They’re relatable. And when you trade polish for presence? That’s when real trust, creativity, and clarity show up.

You’ll hear:

• A relatable (and slightly painful) story from the trenches
• What to say instead of pretending it’s all okay
• Why showing up real is a gift to your team and not a liability

If you’re tired of leading through gritted teeth or curated calm, this episode is your permission slip to drop the act, say the thing, and lead from a place that’s real.

Let’s get into it.
