    Becoming the Leader You Never Planned to Be

She shares openly about navigating imposter syndrome, the transition from being a therapist to becoming a manager, and the learning curve that comes with leading a team. Emily also talks about the importance of building a supportive workplace culture, the role core values play in shaping a healthy environment, and how leadership is less about having all the answers and more about staying open to learning.This episode is an honest look at what leadership can really look like—messy, evolving, and deeply human.
