A powerful conversation with Carmen Balacianu on choosing awakened leadership, healing burnout, and bringing heart, purpose, and spiritual awareness into the corporate world. What happens when success on paper no longer feels fulfilling on the inside?

Together, they explore how emotional mastery, spiritual awareness, and inner alignment are not “soft skills,” but essential foundations for sustainable leadership, healthier workplaces, and meaningful impact.
