Description

In this heartfelt episode, Emma opens up a powerful conversation for CEOs, founders, and purpose-led leaders navigating personal challenges — all while holding the weight of their businesses, their teams, and their families.

Whether you're moving through motherhood, grief, mental health struggles, or unexpected life curveballs, this episode offers permission to be human and remain a steady, grounded leader.

Emma shares:

  • The invisible weight CEOs carry when life doesn’t pause for business

  • How much to share with your team (and how to say it)

  • A permission slip to be seen, supported, and human

  • Why your self-care isn’t selfish — it's a leadership strategy
