Spark Something New
Episode 31: The Courage to Lead from Within with Deb Crowe
This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered if being kind makes you soft (spoiler: it doesn’t). In this soul-stretching, sass-laced convo, Katie sat down with the wise, radiant, and slightly magical Deb Crowe — coach, educator, yoga teacher, and bestselling author — to talk about a leadership philosophy that flips the script on old-school power games.
✨ What You’ll Learn (While Laughing + Crying a Little):
- Why leading from the heart is not weakness — it’s advanced-level humaning.
- The difference between servant leadership (others-focused) and heart-centered leadership (you-focused… first).
- Why we default to efficiency over empathy — and how the Industrial Revolution may still be haunting your calendar.
- The magic of “white space” in your day and why heart-led leaders need it like oxygen.
- That it's okay to wear pajamas all day, drink tea, read books, and not apologize for any of it.
✨ So hit play, Spark Fam. Because leadership from the heart? That’s where the real power lives. And if this hit you in the feels (or the funny bone), leave a review — it helps others find their spark too.
