Grounded and Aligned™

The podcast for people in senior roles who carry real responsibility - budgets, teams, visibility, and pressure - that doesn’t switch off at the end of the day.

If your role has grown faster than your comfort zone…

If you’re managing up, setting boundaries, delegating, and absorbing more than you used to…

If you care about being effective and human (without being inauthentic or pushing yourself past your limits), this show is for you.

 

No hype.
No generic advice.
Just grounded conversations for navigating complex roles with composure and self-trust.
