The Rise Leadership Podcast is a purpose-driven leadership podcast and value-led leaders who believe leadership is defined by responsibility, integrity, and action — not resumes or your number of online followers. Hosted by Danielle Damrell and Sherita Harkness, this podcast creates space for honest conversations, creative processing, and leadership development rooted in truth, clarity, and conviction.

Each episode explores what it looks like to choose leadership in real life — at work, at home, and within our communities. Through thoughtful dialogue and practical reflection, the show tackles leadership topics many podcasts avoid, including burnout, belonging, identity, power, creativity, parenting, decision-making, grief, reconciliation, and leading with values in complex cultural moments.

This is not a podcast about climbing ladders or building platforms. It’s about making decisions that shape people, teams, and culture.

The Rise Leadership Podcast is for:

• Leaders seeking honest, behind the curtain conversations
• Having discussions about accountability and sustainable leadership models
• Entrepreneurs, creatives, parents, and community builders
• Leaders navigating transition, restoration, or reinvention
• Those who value truth, curiosity, humility, and collaboration
• Anyone willing to lead with courage, even when it costs something...

At the core of the podcast is Creative Processing — activating the creative mind to process an intention. Some episodes feature guest voices and lived experience. Others are unscripted, real-time conversations between the hosts as they process leadership in the moment — without polish, performance, or pretense.

You won’t find corporate jargon or quick-fix leadership formulas here. What you will find is space to reflect, learn, ask questions, and choose to be a GOOD leader... and GOOD needs your type of leader!

Because leadership doesn’t begin with authority, it begins with ownership. Because when leaders gather, cultures shift. Every voice deserves a seat at the table, so pull up a seat and let's get to work.
