EP #45 | The Soul of a Brand: When Design Becomes a Mirror of Your Essence with Nora Rose Zinerman (Making Waves)

In this episode, Nora Rose Zinerman—Creative Director, Designer, and founder of Soul Brand Alignment—joins me to explore what happens when design becomes a mirror of your true essence.For Nora, branding isn’t about strategy or trends. It’s about remembrance—returning to who you are beneath the polished image and allowing that truth to lead.Together, we talk about the spiritual side of visibility, the healing that happens through being seen, and how creativity can become a path of awakening.Key Takeaways:A brand is not something you create—it’s something you become.True design begins with energy, not aesthetics.Visibility can be both vulnerable and deeply healing.When essence leads, alignment—and magnetism—follow naturally.If you’ve ever felt like your online presence doesn’t quite reflect who you are, this conversation is your invitation to see branding not as performance, but as a process of becoming.Which part of Nora’s journey spoke to you most?

In this episode, Lillan Baruch—coach, mentor, and former advertising leader with over 30 years of experience—joins me to unpack the shift from performance to impact. For Lillan, belonging is not a bonus, but the foundation of leadership and resilience.Together, we explore the trap of tying worth to output, the cost of chasing performance, and how true impact often comes in quiet, steady ways.Key Takeaways:Performance without belonging often leads to burnout.Belonging creates the safety to move from proving to impacting.Impact can be quiet, steady, and deeply transformative.Leadership is not about metrics—it’s about meaning.If you’ve ever felt stuck in performance mode or wondered how to create impact that lasts, this episode is a reminder: you already belong.

EP# 43 | The Human Side of Relocation: Empathy, Identity & Leadership Transitions with Beata van Velzen (Making Waves)

In this episode, Beata van Velzen—team effectiveness coach, intercultural trainer, and creator of the Relocation e-course—joins us to explore a topic too often reduced to logistics: relocation. But relocation isn’t just about packing boxes and signing contracts. It’s about identity. It’s about nervous systems. It’s about belonging.With over 20 years of international experience, Beata brings a human-first lens to leadership and team culture. Together, she and I dive into the invisible layers of relocation: the grief that comes with losing an old identity, the messy middle of transformation, and the blind spots leaders often miss when supporting international hires.This conversation redefines what it means to lead with empathy in times of transition—whether you’re moving countries, stepping into a new role, or guiding a team through change.Key Takeaways:Relocation isn’t just a move—it’s an identity shift.Empathy in leadership is less about fixing, more about presence.Structure, clarity, and rituals can be powerful forms of care.Belonging is not a bonus—it’s the foundation of performance.If you’ve ever felt “off” in a new place, role, or season of life, this episode with Beata is a reminder: you’re not broken—you’re transforming.What part of Beata’s story stayed with you?

EP# 42 | When Rest Feels Unsafe (The Hidden Nervous System Reason You Can’t Relax)

You’ve cleared space in your calendar… but the second you try to slow down, your chest tightens, your mind races, and you feel like you’re disappearing.In today’s episode, we’re talking about the hidden reason rest feels unsafe for so many high-achieving women—and why it has nothing to do with time management. I’ll share how early conditioning wires your nervous system to see movement as safety and stillness as risk, and why taking a day off can feel more like danger than relief. You’ll learn the small, practical steps to retrain your body to rest without panic—and why this shift is less about “self-care” and more about reclaiming your identity. If slowing down makes you restless or guilty, you’re not lazy—you’re running an outdated safety program.You’ll Learn:How early conditioning ties your worth to constant doingThe nervous system’s role in resisting stillnessWhy “just take a day off” advice doesn’t workSmall, safe ways to start resting without overwhelmOne reframe that turns rest into a source of powerQuote to Share: "You won’t lose yourself in rest.

EP# 41 | The Void Between Who You Were and Who You’re Becoming

You feel like you’re floating between two lives—the one you’ve outgrown and the one that hasn’t arrived yet...In today’s episode, we’re naming the in-between space that no one talks about: The Void. It’s the strange, raw middle where your nervous system is done pretending, your old identity no longer fits, and clarity hasn’t fully landed. I’ll walk you through the three phases I see most often in high-achieving women navigating deep personal shifts—and why feeling lost might be the most honest place you’ve been in a long time. If you’ve ever whispered “I don’t think this life is mine anymore,” you’re not failing. You’re finally listening.You’ll Learn:The hidden reason burnout shows up when success is no longer alignedWhy the Void is uncomfortable—but sacredHow to recognize when you’re performing instead of leadingThe identity shift no productivity hack can shortcutOne reframe that brings relief when you’re in-between everythingQuote to Share:"You’re not broken.

EP# 39 | Rooted in Truth: The Power of Values with Veronica Guguian (Making Waves)

In this episode, Veronica Guguian—marketer, community-builder, and founder of SPIN Ideas and BASE Conference—joins Anna to talk about something quietly powerful: values. Not the ones we put on our websites, but the ones we actually live by. The ones that guide our leadership, shape our visibility, and quietly burn us out when we betray them. Veronica shares her journey of building a business that aligns with her truth—not trends—and what it really takes to show up with clarity, not performance. Together, she and Anna explore how values can be both your compass and your anchor in leadership, branding, and life. Key Takeaways:When your values are out of sync, strategy won’t save you—alignment will.Authenticity without boundaries often leads to burnout, not impact.Real visibility starts with clarity, not volume. This is a conversation for anyone who feels off—but can’t name why. The good news? The answers aren’t out there.

EP# 36 | The Year I Almost Quit My Business (And What Saved Me)

From the outside, it looked like I was winning. Inside? I was done. This episode of Brilliance Unleashed is the truth I didn’t want to say out loud—the year I almost quit my business. Not because I wasn’t capable. But because I built success that didn’t feel like mine. If you’ve been chasing results but losing yourself in the process, this one's for you.Key Takeaways:Burnout Wears a Mask – I didn’t escape burnout. I rebranded it as entrepreneurship. It looked good on paper. It felt like nothing.Radical Pause, Real Clarity – I let it all crash. Hired a coach. Stopped pretending I had it together. That’s when I finally heard the truth under the noise.Less Is More Is My Religion – I lead with breath, not burnout. I follow strategy, but I serve soul. I stopped performing. I started living.If your calendar is full but your soul is empty—pause this hustle. Hit play on your truth. You don’t need another strategy. You need space. Space to feel again. To breathe. To remember who the hell you are.This isn’t about doing more. It’s about finally doing what matters.Stay bold. Stay brilliant.Book a Free Coaching Call with Me:https://tinyurl.com/yw8p579jConnect with Me:http://www.instagram.com/annag.coachingwww.linkedin.com/in/annagcoachingself-compassion | leadership | authenticity | introverted leadership | visibility | energy alignment | burnout recovery | personal growth | emotional intelligence | energy management | visibility detox | self-awareness | leadership transformation | mindful leadership | professional development | leadership coach | career well-being | mindset shift | resilience | workplace wellness | personal leadership | emotional resilience | empowerment

EP# 35 | Authentic Visibility (How to Be Seen Without Selling Your Soul)

Most leadership advice tells you to show up everywhere, post more, and speak louder. But what if visibility isn't about volume—what if it's about alignment and energy? In this episode of Brilliance Unleashed, we’re exploring how introverted leaders can show up authentically without selling their soul. Visibility doesn’t have to be draining. It’s about showing up in a way that feels like YOU.Key Takeaways:Visibility Isn’t About Noise – It’s About Alignment – Introverted leaders often feel drained by the constant pressure to be visible. But authentic visibility isn’t about being loud—it’s about being resonant, grounded, and aligned.From Proving Value to Embodying Presence – I used to push harder, speak more, and “prove” my value, but it never felt aligned. When I shifted from performance to presence, my impact grew—not because I did more, but because I showed up as my true self.Three Shifts for Soul-Aligned Visibility – Start with a Visibility Detox to eliminate pressure-based content, lead with energy (not just information), and focus on being magnetic rather than broadcasting.If this episode spoke to you and you’re tired of chasing visibility, it’s time to reclaim your presence and show up in a way that feels right. Lead with energy, not volume.Stay Bold, Stay Brilliant.Book a Free Coaching Call with Me:https://tinyurl.com/yw8p579jConnect with Me:www.instagram.com/annag.coachingwww.linkedin.com/in/annagcoachingself-compassion | leadership | authenticity | introverted leadership | visibility | energy alignment | burnout recovery | personal growth | emotional intelligence | energy management | visibility detox | self-awareness | leadership transformation | mindful leadership | professional development | leadership coach | career well-being | mindset shift | resilience | workplace wellness | personal leadership | emotional resilience | empowerment

EP# 34 | The Power of Empathy in Unfamiliar Spaces

Most leadership advice is outdated, designed for those who are always loud and on the go, but here’s the truth: Leadership is about emotional intelligence, connection, and the ability to be present. So what happens when you step into an unfamiliar space? A new role? A new version of yourself? You often feel like you don’t belong. But the real question is, how do you create a sense of belonging, starting with yourself?In this episode of Brilliance Unleashed, I’m diving deep into why empathy is the key to navigating unfamiliar spaces. I’ll explain why belonging starts from within, and how empathy for yourself is the foundation of true leadership. It’s not about fitting in—it’s about feeling at home within yourself first.Key Takeaways:Empathy = True Belonging – Belonging doesn’t start with fitting in, it starts with accepting yourself in the discomfort of the unknown. You don’t need to hustle for your worthiness; you need to feel it first.Shift From Fixing to Feeling – Stop trying to fix your discomfort. Instead, lean into it. Acknowledge your feelings, and let curiosity take over. Embrace the power of empathy—not just for others but for yourself.Empathy Transforms Your Leadership – When you lead with empathy for yourself, you show up differently. And when you show up as your authentic self, others respond differently too. You don’t have to be perfect—you just have to be real.It’s time to let go of outdated leadership expectations and embrace a more authentic, human-centered approach. Lead with confidence, starting from within, and step into a version of leadership that truly aligns with who you are.Stay Bold, Stay Brilliant.Book a Free Coaching Call with Me:https://tinyurl.com/yw8p579jConnect with Me:www.instagram.com/annag.coachingwww.linkedin.com/in/annagcoachingself-compassion | leadership | empathy | belonging | self-awareness | authentic leadership | burnout recovery | personal growth | emotional intelligence | energy management | leadership transformation | professional development | stress management | leadership coach | career well-being | mindset shift | resilience | mindfulness | work-life balance | leadership evolution | inner strength | emotional resilience | self-acceptance | workplace wellness | personal leadership | mental health in leadership | transformative leadership | empowering leadership

EP# 33 | The Leadership Model is Broken—Here’s How to Fix It

Most leadership training is outdated. It was designed for a world that rewards the loudest person in the room—not the most effective leader. But here’s the truth: Leadership isn’t about being the most outspoken. It’s about being the most strategic. And introverted leaders?

EP#29 | Create Your Own Definition of Success

This week, we’re exploring what success truly means and how to redefine it on your own terms. Traditional notions of success often focus on external achievements, but real fulfillment comes from aligning with your values and living authentically. Together, we’ll unpack generational perspectives on success and discuss practical ways to create a personal definition that resonates deeply with you. Key Takeaways: Traditional Success vs. Personal Fulfillment: Conventional measures like titles and salaries often fall short of providing genuine happiness.

Success isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s a personal journey that evolves with you. Take the time to reflect, recalibrate, and create a life that feels truly fulfilling.
