Feminine Leadership Principle #10: Honor Yourself with Holistic Care + Lead with Alignment
If you haven’t yet, you can read a breakdown of the 10 Feminine Leadership Principles here.
Taking care of your whole self isn’t a luxury—it’s a leadership necessity. You might think you can power through on fumes, but let’s be real: sustainable, impactful leadership only happens when you prioritize your health, your body, and your mind. This principle isn’t about squeezing in a quick workout or a bubble bath (although both are chef’s kiss ✨). It’s about creating a lifestyle where caring for yourself is non-negotiable.
Why You Need Holistic Care as a Leader
Mind: Your brain is your biggest leadership tool, so give it what it needs. This means downtime, learning breaks, and space for creativity.
Body: It’s easy to push past your physical limits. But if you want to lead for the long haul, you need to fuel and rest your body in a way that energizes you.
Soul: Leadership isn’t just about checking off goals. It’s about leading with heart, and that requires deep self-connection—whether that’s journaling, meditation, or just giving yourself time to breathe.
How This Transforms Your Leadership
When you’re well, you lead well. It’s really that simple. You become more effective, less reactive, and better equipped to handle the daily curveballs of leadership. People will be drawn to your grounded energy because you’re not operating from a place of burnout. Instead, you’re coming from a place of balance—and that’s magnetic.
Schedule "Wellness Time" Like It’s a Meeting
Honor your self-care by scheduling it, and protect that time like it’s your most important meeting of the week. Whether it’s a morning walk, a yoga class, or simply 10 minutes of quiet reflection, build it into your day. It’s not selfish, it’s smart—and your leadership will be better for it.
