Episode 33: Finding Your Next Grace - Leadership Beyond Achievement with Bailey Sloan
What happens when you finally stop performing for approval and start creating from the depths of who you truly are? This week, the magnificent Bailey Sloan joins us for a soul-stirring conversation about shedding identities that no longer serve and stepping boldly into leadership that feels like coming home to yourself.
Bailey's evolution from high-capacity church service through divorce to co-founding Cadence Chiropractic isn't just impressive, it's revolutionary. Her practice achieved its most successful year just two years after opening, but the real wealth? It's in the transformation of her leadership.
🔥 In This Episode:
- The exquisite tension between friendship and partnership when building a business with your best friend
- Why being "the best #2" might be the identity holding you back from claiming your true power
- The profound moment Bailey realized her worth wasn't tied to church attendance or performance metrics
- Creating a workplace culture where vulnerability isn't just accepted—it's the foundation of authentic leadership
- The transformative shift from "what do you want me to do?" to "what do I actually want to create?"
- How Bailey's relationship with money evolved from religious guilt to "I want more money so I can have more fun and do more good"
Bailey reveals, "I worked my way into achieving the life I didn't want. That all came from not being authentic to who I am." Her team now starts each morning with vibe checks because "faking it till you make it is actually faking it till you break it."
Perhaps our favorite insight: "Trust that your next season doesn't have to be the next step in the game plan. When you sense a grace being over a season, a place, or a person, do the inner work to sit with yourself and see where that grace is leading you next."
This isn't just another business conversation, it's permission to stop apologizing for your evolution and start embracing the leadership that only you can bring to the world.
