In this episode of The Inspired Healthcare Leader Podcast, I share how to shift from survival-driven leadership to a more expansive, creative, and strategic way of leading. You’ll hear my own journey from constant vigilance to calmer, bolder leadership, and get simple, doable practices that help you loosen control without risking safety. If you’ve been running on edge for too long, this episode will help you breathe easier, think bigger, and unlock more possibility — for yourself and your team.   Website: maraergaszabari.com Leadership clarity quiz: If you’d like a supportive way to understand what’s shaping your leadership right now, you can bookmark the free quiz at healthcareleaderquiz.com
