Being a Leader Through Self-Advocacy with Molly Kennedy | Epi.46
from Active Action
What does it truly mean to lead — not just others, but your own life? In this powerful episode of the Active Action Podcast, Dr. Nazif sits down with Molly Kennedy, a disability consultant, self-advocate, and founder of Molly Kennedy Consulting. Born with cerebral palsy, Molly has spent her life defying expectations — from being the first student with a disability at her Catholic school, to earning her master's degree, to launching a nonprofit after losing her ability to walk. Molly shares her deeply personal journey of building confidence, embracing failure, and using self-determination as the foundation for authentic leadership. Her philosophy is simple but profound: "It's not what I overcome — it's what I become." Whether you live with a disability or simply face life's inevitable setbacks, this episode will challenge you to rethink what leadership really looks like.What Listeners Will LearnHow self-advocacy changes the trajectory of your lifeThe role confidence plays in becoming a leaderWhy leadership starts with leading your own lifeHow to reframe setbacks instead of being defeated by themWhy failure and risk-taking are essential parts of the human spiritThat disability does not limit your right to dreamWhat self-determination really means in practiceBe sure to check the webpage of Molly at the Active Action Podcast Website to learn more about her work, and ways to connect with her.Read a blog on this episode.Be a guest at Active Action in Podmatch: Click HereListen to and follow my podcast for new content every week:Spotify | Amazon Music | Apple Podcast | Youtube | RSS | WebsiteBecome a Premium member!
