A few months ago I made a post on Threads.

I was hiring my second VA and I wrote something like:

"I have a desire to be the best boss in the world."

My inbox filled up overnight.

VAs from everywhere wanted to work with me. Not because of my credentials or my accolades. Because of one sentence about how I intended to lead.

I'm still getting messages, but what that response told me was this:

People are starving for leaders who actually give a damn.

Here's what I know from my Big Pharma years.

I worked under leaders who managed through Fear, Pressure, Competition. Who measured your worth by your numbers and reminded you of it constantly. Who pitted you against your colleagues because that's what the culture rewarded.

I watched what it did to people. Good people. Talented people. People who walked in with fire in their eyes and left two years later running on empty, burnt out, beaten down, and convinced that was just "how business works."

It isn't. It never was.

Here's the thing nobody talks about in leadership conversations:

You cannot AND SHOULD NEVER lead others any further than you've led yourself.

The boss who micromanages? Hasn't learned to trust. The leader who rules through fear? Is running from their own. The manager who takes credit and assigns blame? Still performing worthiness instead of embodying it.

Unhealed leaders don't just hurt themselves. They take it to work and their teams, their families, everyone in their orbit pays for wounds that were never theirs to carry.

I know because I was that person too.

Not the worst version, but a version that was leading from ego instead of their soul. Competing instead of elevating. Performing instead of being.

That's what living out of alignment looks like in a leadership role.

I only shifted when I gave up being an impressive person and showed up as me, whoever that was in the moment. 

Servant leadership isn't a management style. You can’t pour from an empty cup and you can’t lead from one either. 

The best leaders I know have done their Inner Work. They're healing. They're givers and no longer compete like wolves. 

They show up full on the inside and because of that, lifting others up becomes the most natural thing in the world.

The day I became that leader; the one who walked in genuinely wanting to see her people win, everything changed. My business and team started to grow and the right people started finding me.

Who would have thought one Threads post about wanting to be the best boss in the world would prove just how starving people are for that kind of leadership?

Here's what I want you to sit with today:

↳ How are you showing up as a leader right now?

In your business. In your home. In your relationships.

↳ Are you leading from your wounds or from your wholeness?

* The people around you feel the difference even when they can't name it.

➜ The gap between those two versions of you? That's exactly where the Inner Work lives.
