For best-selling author, life coach and sociologist Dr. Martha Beck, living a successful and meaningful life isn't found in status or other people's expectations. It's found by discovering your own truth, and having the courage to live it.

In this episode of Empowering Leaders, Martha explores why so many highly successful people often feel empty, how social and cultural expectations can pull us away from who we really are, and why small "one degree turns" can help us move towards a more authentic life.

She shares deeply personal stories from her own journey, including the dramatic consequences of choosing to live with complete honesty, and reflects on her friendship with Oprah Winfrey, and what she taught her about courage and integrity.

Martha also shares practical insights for leaders on turning anxiety into curiosity, staying connected to uniquely human qualities in an age of AI, helping children develop their own sense of truth, and finding moments of stillness and authenticity amid the demands of everyday life.
