70 | Authentic Leadership: How to Lead Without Losing Yourself

We don’t wake up one morning and decide to lose ourselves.

It happens slowly — every time we mute an idea that feels “too bold,” swallow an opinion to keep the peace, or smile through exhaustion so no one knows we’re struggling.

Before we realize it, we’re leading from a version of ourselves that’s palatable… but not powerful.

In this episode of Career Growth for Working Moms, Shannon gets real about what it means to lead without losing yourself — and the subtle ways working moms drift away from authenticity in pursuit of approval, perfection, and balance.

Through personal stories, coaching insights, and gentle truth-telling, you’ll uncover why you’ve been performing instead of leading — and how to start reconnecting with your real leadership voice.

What You’ll Learn:
✅ The three hidden traps that cause high-achieving women to lose their authentic voice
✅ What authentic leadershipactually looks like (and why it’s not a buzzword)
✅ 3 daily choices that bring your leadership back into alignment
✅ How to reconnect with your natural leadership style — Boss Lady, Charismatic Queen, Heart-Centered Guide, or Visionary Brainiac — and what authenticity looks like for you

People don’t follow perfect leaders — they follow real ones.
You don’t have to do more to lead well.
You just have to be more you.
