Episode notes
Send us Fan Mail There are moments when someone’s story doesn’t just move you, it changes you. This episode is about leadership, but not the kind you’ll find in a business course or book. It’s about the courage to lead with your whole story. Fallon Farinacci is a proud Red River Métis woman, mom of three, speaker, survivor, and advocate. Through unimaginable grief, she chose to speak and to call people in with her story. This conversation is about truth, the power of personal experiences, and impact. It explores: How a story creates connection (in life and in leadership) Why transactional businesses struggle to build loyalty The difference between calling people out vs. calling them in Why women have been conditioned to separate their stories from their success ️ The courage it takes to ask for help How your lived experience shapes your leadership If you are building a business and trying to compartmentalize your life from your leadership… this episode will gently challenge that. Because you are not your brand strategy, you are the sum of your experiences. And your story belongs in the room.
