The Return to Yourself: Leadership When You Are No Longer Who You Used to Be

from Project Joyful · host Tracy Tutty

As we close out this year, today's episode offers a gentler kind of leadership conversation. A spacious one. The kind that invites you to pause and notice the quiet truth that often arrives before you name it. You have evolved. Yet your leadership identity may not have caught up. In this episode, we explore the subtle signs that who you have been in leadership is no longer who you are becoming. This shift is not a failure. It is your biology, your subconscious, and your inner intelligence guiding you home. Inside this episode: • What it feels like when old strategies take more energy than they used to • The micro-moments Tracy's clients describe when their leadership begins to evolve • How your nervous system guides this transition before your mind catches up • Why your team adapts to your old identity and how they recalibrate as you do • What it truly looks like to return to yourself as a leader • How regulation is about rising to the moment and returning to rest • Why remembering who you are matters more than fixing what you are not This episode is a soft turning point. A moment of recognition. A breath. A remembering as we prepare for our final conversation of the year. If you feel the pull to close your year with intention, clarity, and a grounded exhale, I invite you into Your 2025 Closing Ritual. It is a guided space to gather what this year has asked of you, honour your evolution, and meet the woman you have become. Learn more at tracytutty.co.nz/TwithT.

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Beyond Hope Project with Jason Tharp Beyond Hope Project Welcome to 'Beyond Hope Project,' a beacon of inspiration in the podcast world.
