Leadership doesn’t start with strategy or skills, it starts within. In this episode, Dr. Heather Penny sits down with Nick Breitbart to explore why inner work is essential for healthy & influential leadership. Together they unpack the idea of Grace Space as a practice of compassion, curiosity, and candid feedback that creates room for growth. From self-awareness and blind spots to character alignment, consistency, and servant leadership, they share practical rhythms such as weekly check-ins, feedback loops, and guarding capacity that help leaders connect more deeply and lead with integrity. Whether at home or at work, leadership from within is slow, courageous work. But with grace and curiosity, it can transform how we lead and how we love.

Together they talk about outgrowing old rhythms, asking better questions, and giving yourself permission to pivot instead of pushing through.

Listen now and let this be the year you choose joy, presence, and traditions that truly fit the life you’re made for.
