Ep. 36 - Beyond the Image: Ditching Performative Leadership for Real Power with Stacey Luces
If your resume says “thriving” but you feel tired, this one’s for you. Welcome to Beyond the Quo with Stacey Luces—Leadership Strategist, Power Reset Coach, and former Fortune 100 executive turned reinvention guide for women in midlife. In this final solo episode of a three-part series, Stacey Luces delves into the main themes of redefining success, living authentically, and leading courageously. Stacey discusses the importance of setting personal definitions of success, embracing authenticity, and leading both oneself and others with courage. Drawing on personal anecdotes and insights from her work with clients, Stacy offers actionable strategies for midlifers grappling with burnout, identity crises, and work-life balance. She also explores how to lead with intention, align actions with core values, and create a meaningful legacy. Tune in for practical tips, reflective prompts, and an empowering discussion on leading a life of purpose and integrity.🎧 In this episode:• 00:26 Redefining Success on Your Own Terms• 01:04 Living Authentically: Core Values and Boundaries• 01:25 Leading Courageously: Beyond the Corporate Setting• 02:27 Midlife Reflections: Success, Guilt, and Redesigning Life• 20:22 The Cost of Staying Silent and Micro Moves for Change• 24:17 Guardianship Over Yourself• 25:35 Leading with Integrity• 39:21 The Importance of Support Systems💡 Key Takeaways:• True leadership starts with self: Leading courageously isn’t just about your job title or role—it’s about reclaiming sovereignty over your own life. It starts by leading yourself with clarity, honesty, and intention before influencing others.• Redefining success and leading authentically go hand in hand: Many successful professionals are stuck in a "status quo life"—comfortable, but unfulfilled. Redefining success on your own terms means moving beyond external measures (titles, income) to internal alignment (peace, purpose, presence).• Micro-moves drive massive change: Stacey emphasizes that transformation doesn’t require a 180-degree pivot. Courageous leadership can begin with small, intentional actions like a weekly power hour, journaling prompts, or saying no to things that drain you.• The cost of not leading with intention is burnout and disconnection: When you’re living for the applause or prioritizing others over your own needs, you risk resentment, emotional numbness, and burnout. Reconnecting to your truth and showing up vulnerably—even in leadership—is essential.You’ve already done the quo. Now it’s time to go beyond.🎙️ Feeling inspired?Share this episode, leave a five-star review, and help others find their way back to themselves.✨ Connect with Stacey Luces:• Website: staceyluces.com• Join the Global Community: https://www.skool.com/risingbeyondglobalcommunity/about
