Ep 19: Reacting isn’t leading

Welcome to The Leadership Breakdown, where ambition meets authenticity and leadership gets real. Hosted by Kylie Ota, this show dives beneath the glossy strategies and polished SOPs, shining a light on the gritty, human side of leadership—where the magic happens when you’re triggered, tested, and ready to rise.

In each episode, Kylie takes today's driven female leaders on a journey that’s as honest as it is poetic. Here, we don’t shy away from the messiness of leadership—we break it down, soul-first. If you’re hungry for growth, weary of the same old advice, and craving connection with a real community of women who get it, this is your space.

When you tune in, expect to:

• Unpack Real Emotional Triggers: Discover what happens when leadership is less about reaction and more about radical self-awareness. Learn how your nervous system, trauma, and old stories play out in your leadership—then uncover the four T’s to navigate it all with grace and power.

• Grow Through Trust and Truth: Explore why trust is the pillar underneath every great leader, and how personal stories, fears, and even faith (in yourself, in others, or in the greater good) can transform the way you lead — at work, at home, everywhere.

• Learn to Regulate Before You Delegate: Master the art of responding (not reacting) with the tools and insights to break generational patterns, tune into your authentic style, and create a culture where both you and your team thrive.

This isn’t just leadership — it’s leadership as you’ve never heard it before. Vulnerable. Unscripted. And unapologetically yours.
