    79. From Survival to Limitless: Renée’s Real and Raw Story of Moving Beyond Adversity
    Jul 24 2026
    We work in a fast-paced world filled with technological shifts, economic changes, and daily disruptions. Adversity and challenges are guaranteed to cross our paths, but challenging situations themselves aren't the gift: it's the lessons we extract from them that give us power. If we don't embrace these lessons, we risk repeating the same patterns without growth. In this deeply personal, unscripted solo episode, Renée opens up about her raw journey through extreme adversity over the last few years, including rebuilding her business after COVID-19, navigating 65 cancer treatments, and overcoming severe medical complications and a near-death experience. Moving far beyond traditional resilience, Renée shares how mindset, purpose, and self-awareness can take you from surviving to living limitlessly. You can watch the podcast here, click the image below, or listen on your favourite platforms. Key Takeaways: The following tips and strategies will help you navigate adversity, find the lesson, and rise above challenges: 1. Realize that nothing is guaranteed Audit where you spend your time and energy, ensuring you focus on what lights you up, and make choices that align with your well-being.Create daily “happiness bubbles” by reflecting at night on three moments that made you smile or brought you joy. 2. Define your purpose and flip your values Identify five things you refuse to stand for, such as stagnancy or status quo, and flip them into your five core values.Anchor your life around your underlying purpose and the problems you love to solve for others. 3. Nurture real human relationships Recognize that in an AI-driven world, your lived experiences, stories, and ability to connect at a human level are your greatest differentiators.Embrace the “train theory” of relationships. Understand that while some people get off at certain stations, others are destined to ride with you forever. 4. Move through the 5 stages of adversity to become Limitless Map your journey through the framework: transition from Surviving to Steadying, Strengthening, Rising, and ultimately becoming Limitless.Ask yourself two critical reflection questions: “What is this adversity teaching me?” and “Have I allowed myself to rise, or am I staying in survival mode?“ 5. Practice inward luxury and celebrate small wins Focus on accessible, non-material self-care, such as proper rest, quiet moments, and scheduling non-negotiable health appointments.Create a “Legends Folder” in your email to store positive feedback and wins, giving you an immediate mental boost when facing tough times. By extracting lessons from challenges, you stack layers of learning that help you unlearn, relearn, and continuously evolve. Don't wait until a crisis has passed to look for growth. Reflect on your journey every day. Recognize where you sit on the path from survival to limitless, use your adversity as a catalyst for growth, and keep being limitless. Enjoy This Podcast?

  • 78. Journalism, Leadership, and the Art of Curiosity with Leah Mether

    78. Journalism, Leadership, and the Art of Curiosity with Leah Mether
    May 13 2026

    Great leadership is not just about technical expertise. It is about mastering the tricky people part. In this episode of the Limitless Leaders podcast, I sit down with communication and human skills expert, Leah Mether. Leah is the author of Soft is the New Hard and Steer Through the Storm, and she specialises in helping leaders regulate themselves under pressure, and navigate change with a practical, straight-shooting style.

    She shares her fascinating journey from small town journalist to global thought leader, and reveals how the art of deep curiosity, and authentic connection can transform your leadership style.

    Leah’s unique advice tackles the reality of leading teams through high pressure. This conversation is packed with actionable insights just for you if you have ever struggled with difficult workplace conversations, emotional regulation, or moving past old-school command-and-control management.

    You can watch the podcast here, click the image below, or listen on your favourite platforms.

    Key Takeaways:
    • The journalism advantage is essential for building corporate foundations. Building deep rapport, practising active listening, and honouring vulnerability as a gift lays the ultimate foundation for corporate leadership.
    • Soft skills are actually the hardest power skills to master. Emotional regulation and human communication are the toughest power skills to master but they are absolutely essential to replace outdated command and control management.
    • The reality of peopling requires a major shift in focus. Technical brilliance is no longer enough when you are promoted into a management role because your success now rests entirely on your ability to lead human beings.
    • Caring for your team is the core requirement of effective leadership. A candid reality check on why you simply cannot lead a team effectively to get their best work if you do not genuinely care about people.
    • Embracing your career pivot creates a more authentic presence. Embracing your personal backstory and multi-passionate nature allows you to develop an authentic leadership voice rather than putting on a forced performance.

  • 77. Why Energy is Your Most Powerful Leadership Tool with Gitte Madelaire

    77. Why Energy is Your Most Powerful Leadership Tool with Gitte Madelaire
    Apr 22 2026
    Leadership is about combining commercial business sense with a human, energetic sense. In this episode of the Limitless Leaders Podcast, I sat down with Gitte Madelaire, owner of Evoke New Leadership, visionary pioneer, and author of Energetic Leadership, to explore what leadership really requires in a world where employees demand more spiritual and sustainable business models. Gitte challenges old, outdated leadership habits and invites a deeper conversation about what tapping into intuition really means in practice, moving us from “woo-woo” to “woo-hoo!”. This conversation is a timely reminder that while modern life design often collides with outdated habits, it is our ability to pause, find stillness, and practice inner sustainability that creates clarity, connection, and meaningful impact. The leaders who thrive are not those trapped in the past, but the brave and curious ones who lead truthfully from the inside out. You can watch the podcast here, click the image below, or listen on your favourite platforms. Key Takeaways: Walking on two legs is essential for balance. Merging our performance-driven, logical energy with our intuitive energy allows us to lead holistically with our head, heart, and gut.Stillness is a leader's secret weapon. Finding time to pause, be still, and tune into your unique leadership frequency is vital for inner sustainability and navigating the dance between the ego and the soul.Energetic leadership rests on three pillars. True transformation requires foresight (looking out the window at future trends), personal development (grounding and presence), and business transformation (the courage to act on your purpose).Curiosity and foresight drive high-performing teams. Teams that dare to be brave, curious, and responsible possess the awareness and ability to anticipate future trends and act upon them.Small “energy snacks” create big shifts. Taking just 60 seconds to close your eyes, stepping into nature, or singing a song can profoundly boost your mood, presence, and energetic frequency Contact Gitte Madelaire: Gitte Madelaire Website Gitte Madelaire on LinkedIn Gitte Madelaire on Instagram Enjoy This Podcast?
