EP 127: True Leadership: Expanding the Field Instead of Guarding Your Turf with Jennifer Christensen

In this week’s episode, we dive deep into integrity — what it really means to live, work, and lead from a place of alignment.

Integrity isn’t just about honesty — it’s about when your actions, words, and inner truth line up. It’s about creating boundaries, choosing clients and opportunities that match your values, and having the courage to disappoint instead of betraying yourself.

We explore:

 * Integrity as alignment → how to live in sync with your truth.
   

 * Boundaries & integrity → why saying “no” can be one of the most powerful yes’s to yourself.
   

 * Integrity in business → choosing aligned clients, projects, and partnerships (even if it means turning others down).
   

 * The ripple effect → how one woman standing in her integrity gives others permission to do the same.
   

 * Courage & authenticity → why integrity requires bravery and the willingness to take the harder road.

We also asked:

 * Where in our lives do we feel fully in integrity right now?
   

 * What helps us return to our center when life pulls us off course?

So, where in YOUR life do you feel fully in integrity right now? And what helps YOU return to your center when life starts life-ing? We’d love to hear from you!

Our biggest takeaway? Living in integrity means choosing alignment over approval — even when it’s hard. What was your biggest aha from today’s episode?

In this powerful and deeply personal episode,we welcome back bestselling author, publisher, and speaker Lynda Sunshine West. Together, we explore the raw truths behind success—the struggles, healing, and self-discovery that don't make it into the highlight reels.

The conversation dives into the damage caused by gaslighting, the inner work of rewriting personal narratives, and the radical act of vulnerability in leadership, business, and storytelling.
