In this powerful and deeply grounded episode of Inner Voice of Knowing, Kaye Doran is joined by Alexandra Joy (AJ) — known as The Bush Philosopher — for a rare conversation on leadership that moves far beyond performance, power, and control.

AJ shares her extraordinary journey from a 25-year corporate career inside boardrooms to a life shaped by land, Indigenous wisdom, and conscious leadership. After profound initiations in India, personal loss, and a stripping away of identity, AJ chose a radically different path — one rooted in presence, surrender, and connection rather than force.

Together, Kaye and AJ explore what leadership looks like when it is lived as a conduit, not a costume.

This episode weaves together:
• Indigenous perspectives on leadership and learning
• Surrender as a leadership strength, not a weakness
• Why true leadership is built through presence, not authority
• How nature reveals what no strategy ever could
• The role of self-actualisation in sustainable cultures
• Why conscious leaders create safety, not solutions

AJ also speaks candidly about caring for her mother after a stroke, being shaped by unconditional love, and how being called to walk with Aboriginal elders transformed her relationship with land, listening, and leadership itself.

Drawing on insights aligned with the work of David R. Hawkins, this conversation invites leaders, founders, and seekers alike to re-examine how power is truly held — and why the future of leadership depends on connection, humility, and inner coherence.

This is not leadership theory.
It is leadership lived.
