In this heartfelt and timely episode, Kari reflects on the emotional weight of recent events—including the divisiveness surrounding the Canadian federal election—and extends a warm, empowering message to the often-overlooked "quiet leaders." These are the behind-the-scenes anchors of our families, communities, and businesses. Through personal insight and grounded storytelling, Kari outlines the five powerful traits of quiet leadership, how they’re making a difference, and why now more than ever, we need them to step forward. If you’ve ever felt too quiet to lead or worried your impact isn’t big enough, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn:

2. Thoughtful Decision-Making – taking time to consider long-term impact
3. Steady Energy – being a calming, predictable presence
4. Empathetic Relationship Building – connecting without an agenda
5. Long-Term Vision – prioritizing sustainable impact over immediate gains

• Common challenges quiet leaders face (like being underestimated or pressured to "speak louder")
• A powerful message of encouragement: Be visible where it matters most.
