 In this special host swap episode of Internally Guided Life, leadership coach and holistic human development practitioner Emily Nascimento steps into the role of interviewer to explore Kayla Sweet’s leadership journey, inner work, and the vision behind Internally Guided Life.This is a deeply reflective conversation between two leaders who share a commitment to authenticity, embodiment, and purpose-driven leadership. Together, Emily and Kayla explore what it means to lead from the inside out, especially within systems that often resist vulnerability, emotion, and soul-led work.Kayla reflects on her early leadership experiences, beginning at age 19, and the evolution that followed. From community mental health to organizational leadership, she shares how burnout became an initiation into deeper self-awareness and more conscious leadership. She speaks candidly about learning to release control, recognizing how her own exhaustion was mirrored by her team, and redefining leadership as a sacred responsibility rooted in trust, empowerment, and inner work.Emily brings a grounded, embodied presence to the conversation, guiding Kayla through themes of:Authentic leadership and self-trustThe courage required to challenge traditional leadership paradigmsEmotional sensitivity as a leadership strength, not a liabilityNavigating criticism, uncertainty, and resistance while staying alignedThe interconnectedness of inner healing, embodiment, and sustainable leadershipTogether, they reflect on leadership as the emergence of the deep self in service to the system, echoing the belief that leadership is not a role we perform, but a state of presence we inhabit.The episode also explores Kayla’s journey as an entrepreneur, writer, and creator. She shares how her studies in consciousness and transformational leadership shaped her work, how Internally Guided Life became a space for community and collective growth, and how poetry serves as a tool for reflection, reconnection, and truth-telling. Kayla speaks openly about aligning purpose with daily action, honoring exhaustion as information, and building something meaningful without abandoning oneself in the process.At its core, this episode is an invitation to lead differently. To trust yourself when external roadmaps fall away. To honor inner work as essential leadership work.
