LEADERSHIP looks glamorous from the outside, but what does it actually feel like behind the scenes?

In this episode, we sit down with Luba, a transformational leadership coach, to unpack the psychological and emotional terrain of being in charge — the fear, the isolation, and the pressure to always be strong.

We dive deep into the reality of burnout, why many leaders feel alone, and the misconceptions surrounding power and success. Whether you're a team leader, entrepreneur, executive, or simply someone interested in personal growth, this conversation offers raw truths and practical guidance on leading with integrity and self-awareness.

From the daily habits of high-performing coaches to understanding what makes someone “uncoachable,” this episode is for anyone who wants to evolve, lead better, and avoid losing themselves in the process.
