You’ve mastered leadership. But speaking what’s actually true for you—especially when it’s uncomfortable? That’s the edge this episode is for.

There have been seasons where Celinne couldn’t fully speak her truth. In a ceremony with 40 witnesses, she was forced to dig to the depths of her being and speak the words rising in her chest. The vibration of that truth didn’t just shift her—it shifted the entire room.

In this episode, Celinne shares the hidden cost of self-silencing, the physical sensation of truth that demands to be spoken, and what happens when you have the courage to speak even if your voice shakes. You’ll learn a simple practice for excavating your truth for authentic leadership, how to recognize when you’re performing instead of transmitting, and why one soul feeling less alone is sacred impact.

KEY IDEAS:

✨ Truth has a physical sensation: When truth rises through you, it creates pressure in your chest—speak it or suffocate. Self-silencing is a form of self-betrayal that compounds over time.

✨ Performing vs transmitting: Performing is speaking from your head, ego, and strategy. Transmitting is speaking from your heart, soul, and the depths of your being. The room feels the difference.

✨ Sacred impact over metrics: You don’t need a million likes. You need one soul to feel less alone because of what you said. Leadership is one person at a time, not follower counts.

Celinne Da Costa is a podcast host, author, and coach for leaders navigating ‘I’ve made it—now what?’ She guides them to redesign their next act: more meaningful, more aligned, more fun… and led by their soul’s truth.
