What if leadership didn’t have to feel like a constant grind? What if it could feel aligned, natural, and even magical? In this episode of Her Leadership Coach, Rochelle explores two deceptively simple yet transformative questions inspired by Simon Sinek:

1. What’s a specific happy childhood memory?
2. What’s a specific job or task you’ve done where you thought, “If I could just do this forever, I’d be happy”?

Rochelle shares her own answers to these questions, uncovering the thread of wonder, transformation, and connection that ties them together—and how it’s shaped her leadership and coaching. She also invites you to reflect on your own answers and discover the magic of leading from alignment.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just curious about what it means to lead with ease, this episode is packed with insights to help you align your leadership with your joy, values, and purpose.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How two simple questions can reveal your unique leadership magic.
• Why alignment makes leadership easeful instead of stressful.
• Practical tips for discovering your own “thread” and leading with authenticity.

"Imposter syndrome isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s the quiet pressure to prove yourself, the subtle doubts that whisper, ‘Am I really enough?’" ~ Rochelle Marie

In this episode of Her Leadership Coach, Rochelle dives into the lesser-known side of imposter syndrome—the hidden imposter. This isn’t the bold, in-your-face doubt that screams you’re a fraud. It’s the quieter, more insidious version that shows up in over-preparation, hesitating to take opportunities, or feeling like you constantly need to do more to prove your worth.

We’ll explore:

• What hidden imposter syndrome looks like and how it differs from the more recognisable form.
• Why high-achieving women are particularly vulnerable to this quiet self-doubt.
• Practical strategies to shift from self-doubt to self-trust, including how to reconnect with your inner champion and take aligned action.
• How to lead with confidence and inspire others by embracing your authentic worth.

Plus, Rochelle shares why recognising these patterns isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about rewriting the story imposter syndrome has been telling you.
