In this episode:
Cara explores the power of grounded leadership and how calm can become an anchor for teams experiencing stress, uncertainty, or overwhelm. Through reflection, practical examples, and actionable tools, this conversation helps leaders reclaim their presence and step into steady, emotionally intelligent leadership.

We cover:
• The myth that loud or high-energy leaders are “stronger” leaders
• Why grounded calm is a strategic advantage in today’s workplace
• What calm looks like in real, everyday leadership moments
• The inner work required to cultivate calm from the inside out
• How to respond when calm feels inaccessible or out of reach
• The ripple effect calm has on team culture and psychological safety
• A reflection moment to help you identify where calm is most needed in your leadership

This episode is for you if:
• You’ve been told you’re “too quiet” or “too calm”
• You often feel responsible for regulating the room
• You’re tired of absorbing everyone else’s urgency
• You want to lead with more clarity, steadiness, and emotional stability
• You’re ready to strengthen your grounded presence as a leader
