Thanks so much for checking out my interview on the Intentional Leaders Podcast with host Cyndi Wentland.
In this episode we unpack the deeper layers of leadership, human development, and purpose. Drawing from my own journey — from advocating for persons with disabilities to becoming a corporate strategist — I reveal how leaders can evolve beyond mere achievement into more meaningful, purpose-driven lives.
You’ll discover why so many high achievers hit the “emptiness of success,” how unprocessed trauma (big T and little t) can quietly drive achievement, and what it means to grow through leadership rather than just in it. I also explain the 12 stages of human development, how to recognize when you’re shifting into a richer stage of life, and the powerful difference between operating from scarcity versus abundance.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- Why purpose is the missing piece for many high achievers — even the most “successful” ones.
- How early-life experiences and trauma can shape your drive, fulfillment, and leadership style.
- The 12 stages of human development and how they impact decision-making.

- Practical ways to uncover what’s truly holding you back and move toward your highest potential.
