The world feels loud, uncertain, and sometimes heavy. As leaders and those that care about others, we’re asked to keep showing up even when the path ahead isn’t clear.
This Leadership Circle is an invitation to pause, breathe, and gather tools for holding steady in the dark — without bypassing the reality of the moment.
Through guided prompts, reflection, and practical tools you can use right away, you’ll explore:
- What you know isn’t working for you right now.
-
The difference between fighting against uncertainty versus leading within it.
-
How to choose thoughts that bring meaning, zest, and life to your days.
-
What becomes possible when we stop letting despair make our choices for us.
A rare, behind-the-scenes invitation:
This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s a sanctuary. An hour of unfiltered, hard-won wisdom and real talk you won’t hear anywhere else. Come stand shoulder-to-shoulder with two seasoned guides as they share not only the tools they rely on, but also the very challenges they are wrestling with right now—and the practices that keep them steady when the ground shakes.
What you’ll walk away with:
- Clarity about the big question you’re holding.
-
Specific, actionable practices to help you stay steady when life and leadership feel chaotic.
-
A reminder that you are not alone — and that courage doesn’t mean being unafraid, it means showing up anyway.

Meet Your Hosts
Karlee Fain
Karlee Fain is a trusted coach to founders, executives, and quietly ambitious humans who are ready to stop hustling at the expense of their health and joy. She is known for blending soulful perspective with pragmatic strategy, guiding high-achievers to reclaim time, set purposeful boundaries, and design lives that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside.
As the founder of The Boundary Academy and host of the Messy & Magnificent podcast—now in its 6th year and heard in 93 countries—Karlee’s work has supported leaders from Fortune 50 boardrooms to Grammy-winning stages. Her mission is clear: to help people thrive through nourishment, not punishment, and to prove that carrying less can actually allow us to have more.
She lives for the moment when her clients realize they don’t need to choose between success and well-being, and for the ripple effect that follows when leaders model healthier ways of working and living. (She also firmly believes snacks count as a leadership strategy.)
Maria Sirois, PsyD
For over three decades, Maria has walked into boardrooms and hospital rooms—and everywhere in between—with a singular mission: to bring the data, stories, tools, and wisdom that help us cultivate grounded optimism, clarity of direction, and resilient inner strength in moments of both upheaval and opportunity.
A positive psychologist, leadership consultant, and author, Maria is known for naming the truths others hesitate to say, offering them instead with generosity, humor, and a kind gaze (mostly kind). She works in the liminal space between what has been true and what is possible, guiding leaders and communities to navigate the paradox of striving for excellence while embracing the fullness of our humanity.
Her work is at once intimate and universal. Positive and paradoxical. Efficient, elegant, direct, and elevating. It has inspired thousands of leaders, professionals, and seekers worldwide—though it has yet to alter the temperament of her cat.
