In this rich and honest conversation, I sit down with Maryanne Katsidis to explore what it really means to lead from the inside out. We go beyond the usual leadership talk and dive into the inner architecture that shapes how leaders think, decide, and hold pressure — especially under sustained complexity.

Maryanne shares how true recalibration doesn’t start with systems or strategies, but with stabilising what’s happening internally — emotionally, energetically, and somatically. We talk about identity shifts, joy suppression, the sacred role of anger, and how deeper connection to self creates steadier leadership.

We also explore Maryanne’s near-death experience, her initiation into Dragon energy, and how fire, creativity, and embodiment have shaped her life and work. This episode is a powerful invitation to reimagine leadership as a path of truth, presence, and inner alignment — not performance.

Whether you’re a CEO, coach, or simply someone walking the path of deeper self-awareness, this one will meet you where you are.

In this powerful and soul-nourishing episode, James is joined by Fredah — educator, speaker, and creator of the Spiral Framework — for a deep, expansive conversation on self-leadership, conscious living, and reclaiming your power. Together, they explore what it really means to live your own life fully and intentionally, rather than handing your power to others or staying stuck in fear of the unknown.

Fredah shares her incredible personal journey — from growing up in post-colonial Kenya, to becoming a teacher, consultant, and global thought leader — highlighting how self-awareness, curiosity, and courage shaped her path. She introduces the concept of living life as a spiral, not a straight line, and explains how we grow through cycles of experience, reflection, and deeper wisdom.

James and Fredah also unpack key topics like resilient boundaries, intuitive decision-making, embracing change, connecting through energy, and the importance of learning how to be with yourself — not just do more.

This is an episode for anyone feeling stuck, in transition, or ready to live with more depth, presence, and authenticity. It's not just a conversation — it's a gentle invitation back to your truest self.
