In this solo episode of Conversations That Count, Jeihan reflects on 2025, not as a highlight reel, but as a year of identity shifts, uncomfortable lessons, and quiet initiations that reshaped how she leads, works, and lives. From leaving corporate and stepping fully into CEO mindset, to recognising patterns of people pleasing, grief, and misalignment, this conversation explores what really happens in the in-between seasons, when things fall away before they come together. Jeihan also shares the energy she’s intentionally bringing into 2026: more discipline without rigidity, growth without burnout, and living from the identity of the person she’s becoming, not the version she’s outgrowing. This is an episode about reflection, responsibility, and choosing growth over comfort, for ambitious humans who know their next level requires more than motivation. In This Episode: - Why 2025 felt hard and why that doesn’t mean it failed - The identity shift from employee to CEO (and what no one prepares you for) - How people pleasing shows up in business and leadership - The power of letting go of misaligned environments and paths - Why the “stretch zone” is where real change happens - The habits, mindset, and energy shaping Jeihan’s 2026 vision Subscribe to Conversations That Count for honest, grounded conversations about leadership, identity, and becoming the person your next chapter requires, not just achieving more, but becoming more.
