Leadership starts from within. When you align with your purpose, you elevate not just yourself but those around you.
In this premier episode, I explore how intentional thoughts, inspired action, and courageous curiosity fuel transformational leadership. Dr. David Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness shows how shifting from fear to connection unlocks potential, with courage as the turning point. True leadership isn’t about changing others—it’s about raising my own awareness to create a ripple effect. By aligning thoughts with purpose, I amplify my impact. Leadership is more than strategy; it’s about consciousness, connection, and showing up fully. I invite you to reflect on your purpose and how courageous curiosity shapes your leadership journey.

Hello. Welcome to Leading with purpose. I appreciate you for being here, and look forward to supporting you on your leadership journey. I acknowledge you for choosing to check out this show. Something attracted you to learn more about how purpose and consciousness create change. Showing up fully is the first step. It takes courage and commitment. Leadership takes many forms, in family, community and in business, it all starts with personal leadership. The mission of this show is to inspire meaningful change by showing up fully stepping into leadership and fostering a shift toward greater awareness and connection. It's important to begin with understanding the power of purpose and how being clear on your divine purpose is foundational for changing lives and elevating consciousness. Leading with purpose is a path toward higher consciousness. When you're clear on your purpose, you can use it as a filter for discernment on all the choices that you have to make. Simply ask yourself in any situation, does this serve my purpose? And then listen with an open heart and trust what you hear. Now, this may take some practice. I know for me, it took a lot of time to understand the difference between the voice in my head the voice in my heart. Some of the clues usually are about, Does this feel light and positive? That usually comes from the heart? If it feels contracting and negative, those are usually your ego, your thoughts. But once you can discern the two, and listen to your heart when you're able to follow that inner guidance and that inner intuition, saying yes to your divine purpose means no to saying 10,000 other things.
Unknown:usness is a scale from one to:Unknown:king a lot about my theme for:Unknown:Again, going back to being very intentional with our thoughts, that's where transformation begins. Elevation of consciousness starts with awareness, awareness of our thoughts, our beliefs, which are our thoughts in pattern, and our actions. You know, being really conscious of the actions that we're taking, that's how we elevate consciousness and Descartes his insights highlight the startling point of consciousness. The starting point is thought itself. But what if we look further, instead of just acknowledging that I think, therefore I am, what if we ask, What am I thinking, and how do those thoughts aligned with the purpose that I want to guide my life. Becoming aware of our thoughts and raising our consciousness can move us from fear to connection, which helps us lead with purpose in every aspect of life. I'm curious to learn what motivates you to elevate your consciousness. What is your why and what practices are you implementing now? Or do you aspire to integrate into your life? If you wouldn't mind, please share in the comments. I'd love to hear again what you're working with how this sits with you, what resonates, what doesn't, what might, what ahas.
