After a quiet absence, Amy returns to share an unscripted and deeply personal reflection on leadership, loss, and the courage it takes to keep showing up. This episode explores what happens when life delivers unexpected grief and even the strongest leaders are forced to slow down.

Amy opens up about loss, resilience, and the internal pressure leaders carry to push through instead of pausing. She reflects on the power of giving yourself grace, the importance of processing grief rather than ignoring it, and why leadership is not about perfection but presence.

Through moments of vulnerability, recognition she never anticipated, and reminders about unseen impact, this conversation brings leadership back to its most human form. It is a reflection on showing up with heart, leading with integrity, and trusting that your influence reaches further than you realize.

If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode Lead with the Pause yet, start there—these two conversations are designed to go hand in hand. In Part 2, host Amy Stark Snook takes the next step, exploring what happens after the pause—how we understand, regulate, and channel emotion as a true leadership strength.

Amy is joined by Kristina Scaglione, LCSW-R, founder of Limitless Integrative Wellness and co-founder of Root & Rise Clinical Specialists, for a powerful discussion on emotional intelligence as the bridge between composure and connection. Together, they unpack how to recognize disguised emotions, regulate your nervous system under pressure, and use emotional awareness as a strategic edge instead of a sensitivity.

You’ll learn grounding tools to stay calm in high-stakes moments, insights on “mental wealth care,” and why tending to your emotional health might just be the smartest leadership move you can make.

If you’re ready to elevate your self-awareness, build trust, and lead with empathy and clarity, this is your next listen.

Great meetings start long before the gavel. In this episode, Amy breaks down how leaders earn the right to run the room by building trust, respect, and clarity first. Then she shows how structure becomes powerful with on time starts, clear roles, and agendas people buy into. You will learn simple ways to redirect without shaming, document action items that actually move work forward, and follow up so credibility grows week after week. Amy also shares how to lead volunteers through purpose and gratitude, and how to guide cross functional groups when you have zero relational capital going in. She closes with a real story from a high tension meeting where setting a firm standard for respect changed the entire tone. Lead any room with confidence by leading the relationships first.
