EP: 38 | From Boardroom to Bakery: Leadership Lessons with Amy Adler
What happens when you step off the “safe” corporate track and choose something that feels wildly authentic instead?
In this conversation, I sit down with Amy Adler to talk about the courage it takes to make career choices that actually align with who you are — not just what looks good on paper. Amy shares her journey from corporate leader to bakery owner, and what it taught her about leadership, listening, and learning through mistakes.
We explore the freedom that comes when your identity isn’t tied only to your job, why flexibility is a cornerstone of both career and life, and how trust is built — slowly, intentionally, like baking bread.
Whether you’re reimagining your career or simply craving a more authentic way to lead, this episode will remind you: you don’t have to stay in a job (or a way of being) that no longer fits.
✨ Takeaways:
- Leadership is less about talking and more about listening.
- Flexibility makes us stronger.
- Mistakes are part of growth — not proof you’re failing.
- Authentic choices create authentic leadership.
🎧 Tune in, and then tell me — what authentic choice are you ready to make?
