The Sovereign Leader Podcast

Episode 2: Being “too much” and the truth you were never taughtWelcome back to The Sovereign Leader Podcast, podcast for high-achieving spiritual women who are done performing and ready to lead from their own centre with anchored and embodied authority. Together, through raw, but grounded conversation, we intend to share what it truly means to lead yourself from sovereignty - especially when you've spent years managing everyone else's energy in order to feel safe and most likely in order to keep the peace.In this episode, Joy and I dive into what it means to be labelled “too much” - too emotional, too sensitive, too expressive, too visible, too powerful.Because the truth is, you weren't born believing that about yourself.You learned it.We explore how old paradigm leadership taught so many of us to perform, mask, shrink, self-monitor and keep the peace in order to be accepted. This conversation is a reclamation.A remembering that you are not too much. You may simply have been in rooms, relationships and environments that couldn't hold the fullness of who you are.In this episode, we explore:- why “too much” is learned- the cost of masking and self-policing- the difference between responding and reacting- why other people’s triggers are not your responsibility- what it means to stand in your truth without making yourself smaller.If this episode stirred something in you (and we have a feeling it might have), we’d love to hear from you.Come and share what’s come up for you - what you’re seeing differently, what you're now able to accept of yourself, and where you’re choosing yourself.You can find Jen at revitalisecoaching.co.ukAnd Joy at radicaljoyfulness.comThank you for being here, and for walking this path of sovereignty with us.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Sovereign Leader Podcast - a raw, grounded conversation for high-achieving spiritual women who are done performing, done shrinking, and ready to lead from their own centre with anchored, embodied authority.Episode 1: Personal stories, sovereignty and the importance of choosing youThis is a conversation about coming home to yourself. About choosing yourself. About recognising that true leadership does not begin with leading others, it begins with being the leader of your own life.In this opening episode, Joy and I share our own personal stories and the paths that brought us here.Joy shares her journey from growing up in a fundamentalist Christian cult to finding freedom, spiritual reconnection and the path of the Priestess.I share my own story of leaving a 20-year corporate career after burnout, reconnecting with my spiritual path and what it has meant to stop responding to life and start truly leading it. Including the slightly batshit bonkers chapter where I become a travelling cat sitter after being told, very clearly by my soul team, that it was time for me to lead.Together, we explore what sovereignty really means in real life - not just in ritual, meditation or beautiful spiritual concepts, but in the everyday moments where you choose yourself and trust yourself.If this episode stirred something in you, we’d lovely to hear from you.
