The Medicine of True Leadership

Part Three: Staying with Discomfort

The practice is simple. Profoundly simple.

Stay.

Become aware of your reaction.

Notice your breath.

Let the stories surface without believing them.

You’re not your feelings. You’re the one witnessing them.

This is what creates space between you and the story.

Because there are usually two things going on.

What’s happening and the story you’re telling.

The Gift of Your Own Medicine

Leadership isn’t confined to titles. It appears:

At the kitchen table, sharing hard truths with children.
With a partner, negotiating wants and needs for the future.
In business, delivering unwelcome news with composure.

Your Body Speaks Before It Breaks(down)

As a young professional, I pushed through exhaustion, anxiety, and chronic symptoms for years, but it took even more time for my body's symptoms to get loud enough to say 'hell no girl, you're done'.

The Real Medicine of Life

Part 2 in a 3 part series.

When we talk about disease, most people want to talk about symptoms.

The diagnosis.

The label.

But the body isn’t just expressing itself in physical symptoms.

It’s revealing information.

The Real Medicine of Life

Part 1 in a 3 part series.

Our culture taught us that authority (mostly) lives somewhere else and that they know best. But what if over-dependence on outsourcing our symptoms is the very thing making us unwell?

From Overwhelmed to Empowered Human

When Maya walked into my office last week, she had just been furloughed from her federal job. Her shoulders hunched and telling me right away I’m exhausted. She was here because she’d spent the past week self‑soothing by binge‑watching shows, obsessively scrolling,

Your Participation is Required

And, this is where bypassing can show up. Spiritual bypassing, therapeutic bypassing, shortcut thinking, whatever you want to call it, is when we reach for the outside solution to avoid the work inside. You want the medicine to do it for you.

Ugly is a Courtroom: Rethinking Beauty, Truth, and the Body

What Bayo Akomolafe Means by “The Wrong Courtroom”

Reading Bayo Akomolafe’s LinkedIn po st about the blobfi sh, the creature often called the world’s ugliest animal, made me laugh. Not because the fish looks funny, but because as he points out so eloquently that the judgment says more about the lens we use than about the fish itself.

The Wisdom Within Method: Rooted in Ancient Arts and Science

Quantum mechanics agrees: 99.999% of life is non-matter or unseen.

In ancient traditions, physical symptoms aren’t problems to be eliminated; they are pointers or signposts that direct us to a deeper understanding of the energy or consciousness at work beneath the surface. A headache, fatigue, or even family conflict, these are not merely things to get rid of, but messages that reveal hidden imbalances in our internal and external worlds.

You Can Bear This

Picture a tree in the rain. To my knowledge, it's not complaining about the storm.

Chinese medicine shows us that dis-ease is interconnected with the spirit, mental, emotional and physical - a conversation we can learn from for a richer, more connected life. A headache? Your body might be signaling, slow down. Anxiety? A warning that something needs to shift—maybe your boundaries or your environment.

Coming to Your Senses

Spring! In the northern hemisphere, it’s an amazing rebalancing the earth goes through.

Spring energy is so potent.

Imagine a seed deep in the ground, in the darkness, in a compressed space and with no help from the sun, in order to reach its fullest potential, it must draw on its own resources, its own energy to break through to the compacted surroundings up to the earth’s surface.

Time’s Not Waiting—Why Are You?

The fact that you even can procrastinate is a kind of privilege. A luxury.
And frankly, an illusion.

We don’t have the time to pretend we don’t know what’s going on.
To keep ignoring the body’s signals.
To keep showing up like our leadership doesn’t affect everything around us.
It does.
Whether it’s your team, your family, your community, your inner world—it all counts.
