  • Why Great Leaders Take Responsibility With Guest Brad Henderson

    Why Great Leaders Take Responsibility With Guest Brad Henderson
    Mar 11 2026
    Sacred Leadership with Sherisse In this conversation, Sherisse sits down with Brad Henderson to explore one of the great paradoxes of leadership: why the most powerful leaders are often the first to take responsibility when things go wrong. Brad unpacks how owning the blame — without shame, ego, or self-protection — can actually unlock higher trust, deeper accountability, and extraordinary team performance. Together, they talk about reframing failure, creating psychologically safe environments, and the courage it takes to say, “This is on me,” even when it isn’t entirely your fault. This episode is an invitation into a different kind of power — one rooted in humility, wholeness, and sacred leadership. Brad Henderson is a leadership coach and author of “The Consistency Effect: How to Turn Reliable Actions into Remarkable Success.” He believes that leadership is too important to be left to chance. Within every leader lies an extraordinary capacity for impact, often waiting for the right catalyst. Brad’s own early, isolated journey of leadership without guidance—and the profound awakening coaching brought him—has ignited his desire to be that catalyst. When leaders receive the mentorship they deserve, they create organizations that elevate people and unleash game-changing results that reshape companies and legacies. Drawing on his hard-won experience, he serves as a trusted, silent partner, providing the candid insights and unvarnished guidance leaders need to navigate their challenges and blind spots. His leadership journey spans over four decades as a CEO and senior executive across real estate, telecommunications, technology, and manufacturing including Sotheby's International Realty Canada, Dundee 360 Real Estate Development Corporation, CBRE, TELUS Communications, and Cushman & Wakefield. https://www.consistency-edge.com/ ~ More About Sacred Leadership with Sherisse ~ Sherisse Alexander is an intuitive business coach, a business owner and entrepreneur and podcast host that is motivated by helping others to find meaning, purpose and fulfillment as leaders in their own lives.

  • He Pulled Away, I Stayed With Myself – Sherisse Alexander

    He Pulled Away, I Stayed With Myself – Sherisse Alexander
    Feb 25 2026
    Sacred Leadership with Sherisse When a man pulls away, the instinct for many of us is to reach, explain, reassure, or try to restore connection at all costs. I know that instinct well — because I’ve lived it. In this episode, I’m not talking about men in general. I’m talking about my experience — what it felt like in my body when someone I cared about created distance, and how I learned the difference between emotional regulation and emotional abandonment. This is an honest conversation about the stories we tell ourselves when connection shifts, the nervous system responses that get activated, and the subtle ways we can lose ourselves trying to maintain closeness. I explore what pulling away can mean — and just as importantly, what it doesn’t. This episode is about discernment, self-trust, and learning how to stay rooted in yourself even when someone else becomes unavailable. Not as a strategy. Not as a test. But as an act of self-respect. If you’ve ever wondered whether to wait, reach out, or walk away — this episode is an invitation to listen more closely to yourself. ~ More About Sacred Leadership with Sherisse ~ Sherisse Alexander is an intuitive business coach, a business owner and entrepreneur and podcast host that is motivated by helping others to find meaning, purpose and fulfillment as leaders in their own lives.

  • Women Who Over Function: Loving Without Losing Yourself – Sherisse Alexander

    Women Who Over Function: Loving Without Losing Yourself – Sherisse Alexander
    Feb 18 2026
    Sacred Leadership with Sherisse In this deeply personal solo episode, Sherisse explores the quiet, often invisible ways women over function in relationships—and how over giving can become a survival strategy in the endless search for love. Drawing from her own journey through marriage, divorce, betrayal, and profound self-return, Sherisse unpacks how emotional hypervigilance, over-responsibility, and self-erasure often masquerade as love—especially for strong, capable, emotionally attuned women. Through a modern, grounded reframe of the ideas popularized in Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, this episode explores how men and women often regulate stress, connection, and intimacy differently—and how misunderstanding these differences can lead women to do more, give more, and disappear in the process. This episode is not about blaming partners or vilifying men. It is an invitation to examine how love learned through survival can be transformed into love rooted in wholeness, self-trust, and mutual reciprocity. Released around Valentine’s Day, this conversation gently reclaims love—not as performance or sacrifice—but as self-honoring connection that begins within. ~ More About Sacred Leadership with Sherisse ~ Sherisse Alexander is an intuitive business coach, a business owner and entrepreneur and podcast host that is motivated by helping others to find meaning, purpose and fulfillment as leaders in their own lives.

  • Why Strong Women Struggle With Strong Men – Sherisse Alexander

    Why Strong Women Struggle With Strong Men – Sherisse Alexander
    Feb 11 2026
    Sacred Leadership with Sherisse In this solo episode, Sherisse explores her personal relationship with strength, masculinity, and safety — not from theory or generalized advice, but from lived experience. Having grown up surrounded by strong men, beginning with her father, Sherisse learned early on to associate masculine strength with protection and stability. But alongside that sense of safety, another pattern quietly formed: a tendency to meet strength with strength, and to unconsciously turn connection into competition. In this episode, Sherisse reflects on how her definition of strength evolved into armor — shaped by stories she carried about weakness, femininity, and what it meant to be respected. She shares how overcompensating with masculine energy helped her succeed in many areas of life, while simultaneously making intimacy with men more difficult. This is not a conversation about blaming men or diminishing strong women. Instead, it’s an honest examination of how survival patterns, inherited beliefs, and misunderstood power dynamics can create friction in relationships — and how redefining strength can open the door to deeper connection. Through storytelling, self-inquiry, and embodied reflection, Sherisse invites listeners into a nuanced conversation about safety, softness, and the courage it takes to stop battling what was never meant to be a fight. ~ More About Sacred Leadership with Sherisse ~ Sherisse Alexander is an intuitive business coach, a business owner and entrepreneur and podcast host that is motivated by helping others to find meaning, purpose and fulfillment as leaders in their own lives.

  • Emotional Safety In Love: What I Had To Learn First

    Emotional Safety In Love: What I Had To Learn First
    Feb 4 2026
    Sacred Leadership with Sherisse For a long time, I believed emotional safety was something a partner provided — through the right words, steady reassurance, or consistent presence. What I came to understand is that real emotional safety begins much closer to home. In this episode, I share what emotional safety truly is — not as a theory, but as a lived experience. I talk about how it feels in the body, the internal work I had to do before I could create or sustain it in a relationship, and how my past shaped emotional triggers I once mistook for chemistry or passion. We explore how maturity required relearning partnership from the inside out — moving from reactivity to regulation, from emotional urgency to inner steadiness. This is a grounded conversation about how emotional safety shows up behaviorally: in communication, boundaries, nervous system awareness, and emotional responsibility. I also reflect on how cultivating inner stability quietly transforms intimacy — allowing love to feel calmer, more spacious, and deeply real. This episode is for anyone who desires deep connection without emotional chaos — and is willing to begin that work within themselves first. ~ More About Sacred Leadership with Sherisse ~ Sherisse Alexander is an intuitive business coach, a business owner and entrepreneur and podcast host that is motivated by helping others to find meaning, purpose and fulfillment as leaders in their own lives.

  • Why Healing Doesn’t Mean You’re Broken – Sherisse Alexander

    Why Healing Doesn’t Mean You’re Broken – Sherisse Alexander
    Jan 28 2026
    Sacred Leadership with Sherisse We often talk about healing as if it’s proof that something is wrong with us. As if needing healing means we failed to cope, failed to grow, or failed to be strong enough. In this solo episode, I explore a deeper and more honest truth: healing doesn’t mean you’re broken—it means your nervous system adapted to survive, and now you’re learning how to live. Through a grounded, embodied lens, I unpack common coping patterns like hypervigilance, people-pleasing, emotional numbing, overworking, avoidance, and control—not as flaws to fix, but as intelligent responses to lived experience. I talk about the difference between being wounded and being broken, why wholeness can coexist with pain, and how real healing is less about transformation and more about capacity. This conversation is for anyone who has done “the work” and still finds themselves hurting, triggered, or tender—and wonders if that means they’re failing at healing. It’s a reminder that healing is not a repair job. It’s a remembering. A return to self. And a commitment to stay present with reality without abandoning yourself in the process. ~ More About Sacred Leadership with Sherisse ~ Sherisse Alexander is an intuitive business coach, a business owner and entrepreneur and podcast host that is motivated by helping others to find meaning, purpose and fulfillment as leaders in their own lives.

  • Identity Shifts – Sherisse Alexander

    Identity Shifts – Sherisse Alexander
    Jan 21 2026
    Sacred Leadership with Sherisse Identity Shifts: When Your Soul Evolves Faster Than Your Life There are seasons when something inside you has clearly changed — but your life hasn’t caught up yet. The things that once made sense no longer fit, familiar roles feel tight, and yet the next version of your life hasn’t fully formed. This in-between space can feel confusing, lonely, and emotionally destabilizing. In this episode, Sherisse speaks to that tender season of identity shift — when your soul has moved ahead of your circumstances. She shares why this mismatch happens, why it often feels uncomfortable rather than empowering, and how to stay emotionally steady when nothing around you feels familiar anymore. This conversation offers gentle grounding for those navigating transition without a clear map. You’ll hear how to create simple daily anchors, how to soften the internal pressure to “figure it all out,” and how to remain connected to yourself while your external world slowly realigns. Rather than rushing the next chapter, this episode reframes the in-between as a meaningful and necessary stage of growth — one that often signals deep spiritual acceleration, even when it feels like everything is falling apart. This is an episode for anyone who feels like they’ve outgrown their old life but haven’t yet arrived in the new one — and needs reassurance that this space, too, is part of becoming. ~ More About Sacred Leadership with Sherisse ~ Sherisse Alexander is an intuitive business coach, a business owner and entrepreneur and podcast host that is motivated by helping others to find meaning, purpose and fulfillment as leaders in their own lives.
