What if the people quietly shaping your community are also carrying the most practical leadership wisdom?
In this episode, I sit down with Cheyenna Kuplack to unpack what real leadership looks like behind the scenes.
Cheyenna and I talk about leading while still feeling nervous, why “we can do hard things” is more than a phrase, and how great leaders balance compassion with accountability.
She shares honest reflections on imposter syndrome, learning to delegate (even when it’s faster to do it yourself), and why trust and calm communication matter most when things feel uncertain.
I especially loved her perspective on mentorship – that you can learn from anyone if you’re paying attention – and her commitment to helping people grow, even when it means pushing them outside their comfort zones.
This conversation is a powerful reminder that leadership isn’t about perfection; it’s about showing up, asking questions, and helping others see what they’re capable of.
