Episode 59. Predictions on the future of leadership: a conversation with Violetta Pleshakova
In this provocative conversation with my mentor Violetta Pleshakova, we challenge popular narratives around feminine leadership and explore what's really needed for evolved leadership in 2025. We dive into controversial topics like the overuse of the term "leader" in online spaces, the need for ethical gatekeeping in the spiritual industry, and why simply calling yourself a "feminine leader" isn't enough.
I share my experiences as both a clinical psychologist and spiritual advisor, discussing why we need more discernment and higher standards in the coaching and spiritual guidance fields. We examine why true feminine leadership can't be reduced to a marketing checklist or Instagram aesthetic.
IN THIS CONVERSATION, WE EXPLORE:
• Why the "leader" title has become diluted and what real leadership requires
• The case for ethical gatekeeping in spiritual and coaching industries
• How ancient wisdom about leadership roles (like the relationship between rulers and priestesses) applies today
• Why feminine leadership isn't just about "magnetism" and abandoning strategy
• The importance of cyclical rest and why constant hustle isn't sustainable
