CHARGING UP LEADERSHIP
Ultimately, you are first and foremost a leader of yourself. Leadership starts within. It begins with knowing yourself, stepping into your power, and becoming the best version of YOU—personally and professionally.
Through conversations with a wide variety of guests, we explore leadership, growth, communication, health and well-being, and the stories that shape us. I am especially drawn to stories of transformation—those moments when someone sees themselves differently, makes a courageous choice, or discovers what they are truly capable of.
My hope is that each episode leaves you with a new perspective, a fresh insight, or a little spark that helps charge you up from the inside out.

Ep. 7 - Emily Kieliszewski, Municipal Empowerment Program Powerhouse & Former Miss Michigan: “Empowerment”
Municipal Empowerment Program Powerhouse & Former Miss Michigan, Emily Kieleszewski, talks about her front row seat to the spectrum of "empowerment".

She talks candidly and vulnerably about her experience, giving us a behind-the-scenes view, and what it took to rediscover herself. She concludes by offering her (now) perspective and definition of empowerment.
