This episode takes a different turn as I reflect on a recent podcast I listened to with Simon Sinek and John Travolta. Inspired by Sinek’s perspective, I revisit a word I often use in coaching leaders—vulnerability. While the idea of being vulnerable can feel unsafe, weak, or threatening, I explore a more empowering alternative: availability.

I share how being “available” means opening yourself up—to feedback, to emotions, to learning, to others, and most importantly, to yourself. Instead of suppressing who you are to fit in or please others, availability calls you to align with your values, stand in your truth, and embrace your unique way of living and leading.

The episode challenges listeners to reflect on where in their own lives they can begin practicing availability—making small daily choices to live authentically, grow, and reconnect with who they are. Vulnerable may feel heavy, but available feels expansive. This is an invitation to step forward and be the truest version of you.
