Leadership isn’t just about how you show up in business—it’s about how you show up for yourself. But what happens when your vision shifts, and the path you’ve been following no longer feels aligned?

In this episode of She Leads Authentically, I sit down with Michelle Leakers, fashion designer and entrepreneur, to explore the journey of whole-self leadership—the art of integrating personal and professional growth.

We get into:

- Navigating Unexpected Career Shifts – How to embrace change when your industry, creative vision, or leadership path evolves.

- Listening to Your Intuition – Why self-mastery begins with recognizing what feels right versus what just looks good on paper.

- Breaking Free from External Expectations – The challenge of staying true to your vision when social media, industry norms, and outside voices push you in a different direction.

- Defining Success on Your Own Terms – How to shift from seeking external validation to creating impact through authenticity and legacy-building.

If you’ve ever felt torn between where you thought you were headed and where your heart is pulling you, this episode will help you redefine leadership on your own terms.

Listen now and take the first step toward leading with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
