3. Leading Through Uncertainty: How to Inspire Courage at Work with Katy Culver

How do you lead yourself when you feel like you’ve lost yourself?

In this first episode of Unfiltered Leadership, I sit down with my friend of 12 years, Ronnie Dickerson Stewart, an award-winning executive leadership development expert, founder of OhHeyCoach, host of The Career Clinic Podcast, and soon-to-be published author. Ronnie was the reason I finally launched this podcast, so it felt only right that she join me for the very first conversation.

Together we get real about what it means to navigate the “messy middle” of identity loss, whether it’s pregnancy, layoffs, new roles, or life transitions that leave you wondering: Who am I right now?

☕ You’ll hear us talk about:

  • Why have the last five years left so many professionals questioning their identity

  • My own story of pregnancy, sickness, and losing access to my normal coping mechanisms

  • Ronnie’s coaching tools for navigating new roles, layoffs, and retirement

  • Why grief is an important (and often overlooked) part of career transitions

  • How to use values, self-compassion, and a test-and-learn mindset to find yourself again

  • Why surrender is sometimes the bravest leadership move you can make
