Host Colli and guest Corliss Rassyle explore moving beyond frantic hustle to unshakable sovereignty, examining leadership, over-functioning, vulnerability, and generational money beliefs. Coralist shares her personal journey of rebuilding after crisis, how ambition and self-trust reshape success, and the power of creating safety and boundaries. The episode previews Coralist’s TEDx talk and Lead Conference, and offers practical steps for high-achieving women to protect wellness while aligning wealth - - starting with the simple question, “What do I need right now?” Episode Summary What happens when the life you built to meet everyone else’s expectations completely collapses? In this raw, deep, and somatic episode of Leading from the Bones, host Colli Christante sits down with renowned Canadian leadership coach, author, and founder of LEAD Conference Canada, Corliss Rassyle. Together, they pull back the curtain on the exhausting cycle of over-functioning that so many high-achieving women find themselves trapped in. Corliss shares the vulnerable truth of her own mid-life turning point at age 40, where losing her marriage, her business, and her stability forced her to break through generational survival patterns of scarcity and hard work. From learning to stop proving her worth to standing in her true sovereignty, Corliss outlines what it actually takes to lead your life from within, protect your peace, and move from a state of constant survival into deep, authentic thrive. 🗝️ Key Takeaways from the Bones: The Trap of Over-Functioning: How high-achieving women are systematically conditioned to build empires at the expense of their own physical bodies and health just to prove their value.
