In this solo episode, Lena drops some truth bombs on emotional maturity. Forget the drama and learn how to actually respond to your emotions instead of letting them hijack your life. Whether you’re dealing with a tough situation at work, feeling triggered in your relationships, or just tired of reacting on autopilot, this episode gives you the tools to handle your feelings like a pro — without the emotional rollercoaster.
What to Expect:
The difference between emotional reactions and emotional responses, and how it shows up in your daily life (think: handling unexpected criticism without losing your cool).
Real-life examples: When your partner pushes your buttons, or when your inner critic shows up — and how to handle both with emotional maturity.
A few mindset shifts to help you create emotional space and avoid impulsive decisions.
Why emotional maturity is the key to leading with integrity and strengthening your personal boundaries.
What if everything you’ve been told about who you are is just conditioning?

We all want to be liked, accepted, and understood. But what happens when the fear of judgment keeps us from standing in our truth?
In this raw and unfiltered episode, I dive deep into my own struggles with integrity—when I compromised my boundaries, silenced my voice, and lost sight of my purpose just to keep the peace.
But here's the twist: avoiding discomfort doesn’t save you from it - it actually means quite the opposite.
I’ll share the pivotal moments when I realized I wasn’t standing in integrity - both as the one holding back and as the one on the receiving end.
Eventually, I'll reveal the key steps that helped meturn the ship around and step into self-leadership with courage and clarity.
If you've ever felt torn between speaking your truth and keeping the peace - this one’s for you.

In this first episode of Lead with Integrity, I dive into what integrity really means—not just in a traditional sense, but as a force that impacts everything around us—our work, relationships, and society.
After 30 years of life experience, I’ve realized how often we struggle to align our actions with our words, and why it’s so hard to live in full integrity with what we say we value.
Through personal stories from my career and travels, I share my reflections on how we often disconnect from our true values due to fear, expectations, and external pressures. I created this podcast to explore these questions and have conversations with people who’ve worked to build lives rooted in integrity. I hope these conversations inspire you to live more authentically and aligned with your own values.
Let's dive in and grow together!
