What does it really mean to command a room, without being the loudest in it?

In this magnetic episode, we sit down with Tiana Baxter, a powerhouse in business and personal transformation, to explore the kind of leadership that begins behind the scenes.

From corporate boardrooms to building multiple million dollar businesses, Tiana opens up about reinventing herself, integrating faith, and learning how to lead from deep integrity, even when the spotlight fades.

We talk body language, energy, influence, and the truth about what makes someone truly magnetic. And we go into marriage shifts, motherhood, losing and finding your voice again, and why silence can sometimes be your most powerful strategy.

💥 Big lessons?

• Influence starts with how you lead yourself

• Why your identity must match your next level

• How to spot when you’re burnt out, or just overwhelmed

• What quiet power really looks like in relationships and business

Whether you're in hustle mode or quietly rebuilding, Tiana’s story will shift how you think about leadership, self worth, and what it takes to rise with purpose.
