In this episode of Unchartered and Unfiltered — A Journey Back to You, I’m sharing the journey of a leader who was stuck in the exhausting cycle of trying to manage how people saw them. From over-explaining to emotional contortionist, they believed that if they just “got it right,” others would finally see their worth.

Spoiler alert: That’s not how it works.

One doodle of two stick figures changed everything — exposing the mental gymnastics they were doing to fit into an image that was never theirs to begin with.

Join me as we unpack:

  • Why feedback feels so personal (and how to stop absorbing it like a sponge)
  • The “box of questions” that changed their leadership style
  • The moment they realized: “I don’t need more confidence, I need more curiosity.”
  • How to stop managing perceptions and start leading with presence

This isn’t a leadership “how-to.”
It’s a journey of letting go of what’s not yours to hold.
Tune in and walk away with a reframe you didn’t know you needed—until now
