    72 | Soul Led Leadership with Dana Gengle

    In this episode of Leadership Unfiltered, I sit down with coach and mentor Dana Gengle, creator of the Four Walls Freed™ Framework and co-host of the Soul-Led Business Summit, for a powerful conversation about what it really means to lead from the soul.   We explore the difference between performance-driven leadership and authentic, soul-led leadership—and how chasing titles and results can leave even successful leaders feeling empty. Dana shares her own journey from corporate and network marketing leadership into a deeper calling of service, self-compassion, and alignment with her true purpose. Together, we talk about how loving yourself fully is the foundation of leading others well, and how your greatest challenges often hold the keys to your most powerful gifts. This conversation is a reminder that leadership isn't about perfection or performance—it's about presence, purpose, and the courage to show up as your whole self. If you're ready to release old expectations and lead from a place of truth and alignment, this episode will speak straight to your soul.    ✨ Real leaders. Real talk. Real growth.   Register for the Soul Led Business Summit here: https://soulledmasterminds.com/optin?am_id=shannon2034 Connect with Dana Gengle here: https://www.facebook.com/share/19Y4Yac4wM/ Disclaimer: All opinions shared are my own and do not represent the opinions, beliefs, or policies of any other organization.
