Authentic Leadership Podcast
Authentic Leadership Podcast
Podcast Description
At the Authenticity Studio Podcast, our theme centres around authentic leadership. But leadership, to us, goes far beyond titles or positions of authority. We’re drawn to those who quietly embody leadership from within — individuals who continue to shine even when no one is watching.
They are not defined by accolades or applause, but by something much deeper: a quiet courage to stay true to themselves, especially during the early, uncertain stages of their metamorphosis — a time often marked by being undervalued, unseen, and deeply challenged.
To us, true leaders are like fireflies. They glow from within — not because someone asked them to, but because it’s simply who they are. They keep showing up, again and again, to illuminate the darkness.
So, welcome to the Authentic Leadership Podcast. Here, we honour those who lead not through role or recognition, but through essence — by having the courage to be themselves, fully and unapologetically. authenticitystudio.substack.com

📚 Beyond the Podcast
Alongside the podcast, we also share The Boy Who Wanted to Be Cinderella 🏳️🌈 — a queer fairytale I created for the gay community. It’s a story of courage, love, and being true to yourself, offering representation and hope for those who grew up not seeing their stories reflected in the world around them.
Sean was once a boy who carried his heart proudly — big, red, and full of innocence. But after years of hurt and rejection, he stitched it back together and hid it away, too afraid to show the world its cracks.
Then he met Amory, a florist with a smile that felt like sunlight. Through kindness, laughter, and unconditional love, Amory awakens something Sean thought was lost forever — the power to heal, the courage to love, and the journey back to his true self.
This is not just a love story. It’s a story about shame, hope, healing, and discovering that the scars we carry can become part of our beauty.
