Voices, Leadership & Legacy Whitney Kear

When does innovation and pioneering actually create unintended harm or set us back in our aim to leap ahead? Listen to this solo episode where I discuss the unintended consequences of innovation, how to create a grounded approach to creating the future while still rooted to our past, and the importance in doing so for the younger generations. I consider historical examples such as the Atomic Bomb as well as the importance of utilizing the knowledge transfer from those who have come before us when envisioning the future, while considering our own personal well-being when working towards a better world.

We so often turn to those outside of us to feel better and affirm our worth. What if we knew that our ability to lead ourselves was our best indicator of our ability to lead others? What if we saw the opportunity to turn within and cultivate our own inner strength as a deep wellspring of guidance, wisdom, and support? In this episode, I discuss the epidemic of women and men alike who have such mistrust in their own capacity to lead, and how we return to a state of wholeness as the leader of our own lives, renegotiating our relationship to achievement, to productivity, and harnessing a true capacity to lead with grace and strength. Learn about how we can become a self-sustaining mechanism that can turn towards ourselves first, and simultaneously turn towards others. 

Enjoy this empowering episode with Carmina Becerra, TV host, speaker, coach, and founder of FREE YOUR VOICE, dedicated to Carmina’s lifelong goal to see a world where people are freely expressed, accessing their ultimate truth and sharing it with the world. With a focus on somatic and experiential coaching, we discuss Carmina's big break in TV journalism interviewing celebrities and athletes, MCing for thousands of people at the Coliuseum, to her struggle with her own pain, and ultimately her inspiration to be a force for empowering expression in the world. We discuss ways to start slowly expressing your voice, sharing your truth, and owning your personal experiences. 

In an ever-changing and unpredictable world, how do we create a sense of belonging, a sense of place? With a culture so forward focused, it's helpful to know where we've come from in order to inform where we're going. Our collective psyche has become rather fragmented and fractured. In a sense we've become untethered and unmoored to that which grounds us; to that which nourishes us. In this solo episode, I discuss this more fully, and the ways we can return to the bounty of what is already here in front of us, through simple applications in our daily lives. Enjoy experiences I share of my time living in Italy, and how their culture supports a sense of legacy in its lasting traditions and values, as well as my love of cultivating beauty and intentionality through living a rich, and quality heart-led life. 

Enjoy this rich episode with mind-body coach Rebecca Tolin as we discuss her journey going from a globe trotting successful journalist to losing her career and healing from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome 13 years later. Her healing journey opened a transformational doorway into the power of somatic healing, nervous system regulation, healing childhood wounds and traumas, deep peace within her self, and ultimately stepping into her leadership in service to others healing from ME/CFS and other post-viral conditions. Listen as we discuss the core emotional drivers that can prevent self-healing, reclaiming our power, and how to begin unwinding repressed emotions stored in the body.

A big, warm welcome to the Voices, Leadership & Legacy podcast, a place for bold and brave mission driven leaders, lovers, and creatives that want to expand into their heart-centered lives while being firmly rooted in the ease of their bodies, the truth of their hearts, and the guidance of their souls. I created this podcast to share my inspiration of living an empowered heart-centered life and help others step into their greatness, unlock their voice and creative expression in their personal and professional lives, embrace change as an opportunity for transformation, to create healthy and emotionally intelligent relationships, and to build meaningful heart-led legacies. Enjoy this peek into what has led me here from my fear of public speaking, to growing up as an empath, to influential mentors, to why this work now matters to me. Enjoy!
