Leadership That Liberates

What if the barriers to liberation aren’t the systems we live within, but the ways in which those systems live within us? In this podcast, Lena Papadopoulos—anthropologist, leadership coach, shadow work expert, and award-winning intercultural educator—unpacks the relationship between self-suppression and systems of oppression. She guides listeners on a courageous quest to unearth the root cause of the divisions within us and between us, building our capacity to lead true change in our lives and in our world. Because until we’re really willing to face our pain, we’ll create more of the same.

Spirals, Loops, and Leading Ourselves Through Life Lessons

Are you moving through a growth spiral or stuck in a repetitive loop?

This episode dives into the difference between spirals and loops—the ways we revisit life lessons for deeper integration versus the cycles we get stuck in when we circle round and round the same lesson rather than meeting it head on.

I unpack why it’s so uncomfortable to face the parts of ourselves that keep us trapped in repeating patterns, how our unconscious self-protective mechanisms perpetuate loops, and why taking accountability for the role we play in our own suffering is critical to our personal (and collective) liberation.

I also share some reflection questions to help you identify where and why you might be circling without resolution, and how to step into your power and break free of needless repetition.
