E063: Harnessing Adversity – How Vulnerability Can Empower Leaders and Teams with Daria Burke

The BIG Strategy Podcast

Daria Burke is an author, business executive, and advocate for authenticity whose memoir, Of My Own Making: A Mempoir, explores resilience, personal growth, and the transformative power of vulnerability. In this powerful conversation, Daria shares how reflective practices, neuroscience, and embracing her own story fueled a thriving career, inspiring others to rewrite generational narratives both personally and professionally.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why vulnerability is a leadership strength, not a weakness
• Healing generational trauma and reframing inherited narratives
• The science of neuroplasticity and agency over our own stories
• Recognizing and breaking cyclical patterns in life and business
• Post-traumatic growth: moving beyond survival to thriving
• Balancing ambition with radical self-acceptance and grace
