Description

Daria Burke is an author, business executive, and advocate for authenticity whose memoir, Of My Own Making: A Mempoir, explores resilience, personal growth, and the transformative power of vulnerability. In this powerful conversation, Daria shares how reflective practices, neuroscience, and embracing her own story fueled a thriving career, inspiring others to rewrite generational narratives both personally and professionally.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why vulnerability is a leadership strength, not a weakness
  • Healing generational trauma and reframing inherited narratives
  • The science of neuroplasticity and agency over our own stories
  • Recognizing and breaking cyclical patterns in life and business
  • Post-traumatic growth: moving beyond survival to thriving
  • Balancing ambition with radical self-acceptance and grace
