What does it mean to lead with both grit and grace—and how can coaching unlock that balance? In this episode, professional certified coach Monica Bryant-Ruiz shares how her awakening redefined her identity as a high-achieving executive. Today, she helps leaders navigate constant pressure and change not by pushing harder, but by letting go.


Through deep presence, reflective dialogue, and Buddhist-informed coaching techniques, Monica invites her clients to explore what's driving their ambitions, question inherited narratives, and choose peace over performance. This conversation is a powerful look at how coaching becomes a space for awakening, authenticity, and courageous clarity.
