The Embodied LeadHer
The Embodied LeadHer is a podcast for women who are ready to lead from presence rather than pressure.
Hosted by Glory Lichon, this podcast explores leadership as a lived, embodied experience—rooted in nervous system regulation, inner stability, and sustainable power. Through honest reflection, grounded conversation, and moments of pause, Glory invites listeners to step out of urgency and performance and return to what’s true.
This is a space for women navigating leadership in business, life, and the world—especially those who feel the pull to slow down, listen inward, and lead without self-abandonment. Rather than offering quick fixes or hustle-driven strategies, each episode creates space for awareness, integration, and conscious leadership that can actually be lived.
Whether you’re moving through uncertainty, redefining success, or simply longing to come back to yourself, this podcast offers orientation—not instruction.
No hustle. No proving. Just presence.
New episodes release weekly.
Listen when you need grounding, clarity, or a reminder of your own inner authority.

Breaking the Cycle of Self-Sabotage: The Upper Limit Problem & Why You Pull Back Before Expansion (Replay)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is a replay from the Reset Series, but the message is just as relevant right now.
If you’ve been feeling resistance, hesitation, or the urge to pull back right when you’re on the edge of something bigger… this episode will land differently.
What looks like self-sabotage is often something deeper.
It’s the moment your nervous system meets the edge of what feels safe.
In this episode, I walk through what Gay Hendricks calls the Upper Limit Problem—and how it shows up right before expansion.
More importantly, how to move through it without forcing, overworking, or disconnecting from yourself.
This isn’t about pushing past fear.
It’s about building the capacity to stay.
Inside this episode:
- Why self-sabotage shows up right before growth
- The cycle that keeps you stuck: trigger → sabotage → shame → repeat
- How your nervous system prioritizes safety over expansion
- The Upper Limit Problem and how it impacts your leadership
- A simple reset practice to return to clarity and aligned action
