What if leadership wasn’t about your title, but about the energy you bring into every room? In this episode, Dr. Heather Walker sits down with Tonya Kay Herb — CEO, coach, and founder of Outspoken – to explore how redefining leadership starts with reclaiming kindness, starting with yourself.
Tonya shares her signature BIKE framework (Be You, Insight, Kindness, Engage), a soulful and science-backed approach to showing up with purpose and presence in every area of life. You’ll hear how a forgotten bicycle turned into a powerful coaching tool – and why the voice in your head might just need a hug.
If you’ve ever struggled with imposter syndrome, burnout, or that nagging inner critic, this episode offers the tools – and the mindset shift – you didn’t know you needed.
