Brave leaders don’t just imagine a better world—they take action to create it.

In this episode of the Small Brave Moves podcast, we explore what it truly means to be a hope-driven leader. Leadership isn’t just about strategies and decisions—it’s about inspiring resilience, creating pathways to success, and instilling belief in a better future.

I share a deeply personal story about how a simple yet powerful reminder from my mom shaped my leadership perspective, reinforcing the idea that hope isn’t just a feeling—it’s a leadership skill.

I share with you:
✅ How hope fuels resilience and perseverance in leadership
✅ Practical ways to instill hope in your team during challenging times
✅ Daily habits to grow a hope-driven mindset
✅ Why hope is a roadmap for navigating obstacles, not just wishful thinking

Tune in and learn how to lead with hope, even in the toughest moments.

Leadership isn’t just about guiding others—it’s about navigating your own journey with bravery, resilience, and purpose.

In this episode of Small Brave Moves, I sit down with Jesse Cody, founder of Hike the Good Hike, to explore the leadership lessons hidden in nature’s toughest challenges. Nearly a decade ago, Jesse found himself at a crossroads, struggling with mental health and questioning his future. Instead of staying stuck, he made a bold decision: to take a 2,000-mile journey on the Appalachian Trail—one that would reshape his life and leadership.

Together, we explore:
🏔️ How uncertainty and discomfort lead to growth
🏔️ Why perseverance is the ultimate leadership skill
🏔️ The power of taking a step forward—even when you don’t have all the answers
🏔️ How leaders can cultivate resilience in themselves and their teams

Jesse’s story is a powerful reminder that leadership often means embracing the unknown, facing challenges head-on, and trusting the process. If you’ve ever struggled with mental health, finding your purpose, or simply need the courage to take your next step, this episode is for you.
