The Problem with No Problems with Brooke Brzozowske Pt. 2

You don’t have to have all the answers to be a powerful leader, but you do need to create space for better answers to emerge.

In this inspiring continuation of our conversation, Brooke Brzozowske and I go deeper into the internal experience of leadership, the fear of not knowing, the pressure to perform, and the courage it takes to stay grounded in presence rather than perfection.

Brooke shares how reflection, vulnerability, and emotional self-awareness can radically shift the way we lead ourselves and others. We also dive into her own bold career transition as she leaves federal service after 20 years to pursue purpose-aligned entrepreneurship full-time. Her story is a beautiful reminder that leadership is just as much about who you're becoming as what you're doing.

If you've ever felt like you're juggling it all and still questioning if you’re doing enough, this episode will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and equipped to lead from a deeper place of truth.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why vulnerability can build more trust than always having the right answer
• The importance of self-awareness and reflection in leadership
• How to navigate transition in a way that aligns with your values
• Why curiosity is the antidote to burnout, judgment, and stagnation
• The powerful difference between performing leadership vs. embodying it
