Ever felt trapped between the pursuit of a fulfilling career and a rich personal life? 

Delynn Miller, the transformative coach from the Pursuit Institute, joins me in peeling back the layers on how we, as leaders, can embrace an 'and' mindset to have it all. 

Throughout our conversation, Delynn shares her wisdom on breaking through restrictive societal norms and generational beliefs that have long dictated a woman's role in the workforce and at home. We tap into the art of finding one's voice, building confidence, and the magic that happens when you start inspiring rather than pushing your team.

Authentic leadership is not just climbing the corporate ladder; it's about leading from within. 

This episode cracks open the myth of the 'hot mess' leader and acknowledges the internal struggles many face while trying to project confidence and capability. 

She shares insight on the transformative 'be, do, have' model that Delynn champions, encouraging us to imagine the rich tapestry of life we yearn for across health, relationships, and finances.
