In this episode of The Soul Revival Podcast, Lindsay Stanton sits down with executive coach Nicole Bliss for an insightful conversation about conscious leadership, self-awareness, and what it means to lead from a place of greater alignment.
Nicole works with executives, founders, and leadership teams to identify unconscious patterns, move from reactivity to responsibility, and develop a more intentional approach to leadership. Together, Lindsay and Nicole explore how mindfulness, intuition, the Enneagram, yoga, meditation, and other reflective practices can support stronger communication, healthier relationships, and more authentic leadership.
They also discuss the growing shift toward whole-person leadership—the understanding that who we are personally cannot be completely separated from how we show up professionally. Rather than relying solely on productivity, performance, and constant forward motion, Nicole shares the importance of creating space for rest, reflection, nervous-system regulation, and intentional decision-making.
Throughout the conversation, Nicole reflects on her own transition from corporate leadership into executive coaching and how following a series of intuitive “breadcrumbs” ultimately led her to create a career centered on helping others lead and live with greater awareness.
The episode also explores:
• The difference between reactive and conscious leadership
• How unconscious patterns influence the way we communicate and make decisions
• The role of mindfulness and self-awareness in effective leadership
• Why rest and nervous-system regulation can improve clarity and performance
• Using the Enneagram as a tool for understanding leadership patterns
• Balancing action with spaciousness and reflection
• The importance of authentic connection and community
• Following intuition when your next step is not yet fully clear
• Creating workplaces and leadership cultures rooted in greater humanity, connection, and joy
Nicole also shares details about her Fall Rest & Reset Leadership Retreat for Women, taking place October 15–18, 2026 on Cape Cod. The intimate experience combines conscious leadership development with restorative practices designed to help women step away from everyday demands, reconnect with themselves, and return to their lives and work with greater clarity and intention.
This conversation is an invitation to reconsider what strong leadership can look like—and to recognize that meaningful growth does not always come from doing more. Sometimes it begins by creating enough space to hear yourself clearly again.
