E167: Lead From Truth, Not Tension (Run Your Own Race)
Description
In this deeply personal episode, Cynthia shares how running a half marathon became a living metaphor for leadership, self-trust, and growth.
From months of training and tapering, to full-circle encounters with mentors and old friends, to the moment she chose to run her own race instead of pushing to keep up — this story shows how slowing down and listening to your inner wisdom can transform the way you lead.
You’ll discover:
✨ Why slowing down isn’t weakness — it’s a leadership strategy
✨ How growth is cyclical, not linear, and why revisiting old places reveals how far you’ve come
✨ The freedom that comes from setting your own pace instead of chasing someone else’s
✨ Why your truth can’t look like anyone else’s — and the power of honoring that
If you’ve been feeling the pressure to perform, to prove, or to keep up, this episode is your invitation to breathe, listen, and find the pace that feels true to you.
Stay tuned to the end to hear how you can join Be the Light — a sanctuary for high-integrity humans and heart-led leaders ready to live, love, and lead authentically.
