Snapshot #30: Authentic Leadership Starts With Emotional Safety

What if emotional safety, not hustle, is your biggest growth lever?

In this snapshot episode, Carl Taylor sits down with men’s coach Darren Bruce to explore how emotional intelligence and nervous system regulation directly impact how you lead at work, show up at home, and make high-stakes decisions under pressure.

They dive into the surprising reason we disconnect from our true selves and how building an “emotional home” helps you reclaim calm, clarity, and confidence even during chaos.

Whether you're a parent, a partner, or a founder trying to scale without losing yourself in the process, this conversation is a game changer.

If you're ready to lead with clarity, build a more resilient business, and stop defaulting to stress-mode, this episode will show you where to start.

You’ll hear:

• What “being authentic” really looks like in daily life
• Why emotional safety (not success) drives true confidence
• The difference between co-dependence, independence, and interdependence
• How to build your emotional map and help your kids do the same

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve drifted from who you are, this conversation is your guide back home.
