What if leadership didn’t have to feel like a constant grind? What if it could feel aligned, natural, and even magical? In this episode of Her Leadership Coach, Rochelle explores two deceptively simple yet transformative questions inspired by Simon Sinek:

1. What’s a specific happy childhood memory?
2. What’s a specific job or task you’ve done where you thought, “If I could just do this forever, I’d be happy”?

Rochelle shares her own answers to these questions, uncovering the thread of wonder, transformation, and connection that ties them together—and how it’s shaped her leadership and coaching. She also invites you to reflect on your own answers and discover the magic of leading from alignment.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just curious about what it means to lead with ease, this episode is packed with insights to help you align your leadership with your joy, values, and purpose.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How two simple questions can reveal your unique leadership magic.
• Why alignment makes leadership easeful instead of stressful.
• Practical tips for discovering your own “thread” and leading with authenticity.
