Ever wonder why some leaders inspire while others intimidate? It might just come down to communication style!

In this bonus episode, my sister Jasmine Star breaks down the Communication Animal Wheel, a brilliant framework by Evy Pompouras that helps us understand how different communication styles impact leadership and team dynamics. Whether you roar like a lion or approach with the quiet wisdom of a mouse, knowing your natural style can make all the difference in how you lead, support, and inspire others.

Jasmine shares valuable insights on conflict resolution between leadership styles and why clear communication is the backbone of any thriving organization.

She explores:

✨ Healthy vs. unhealthy leadership—recognize the signs and shift toward positive dynamics

✨ Empowering volunteers—turning passion into action and ensuring everyone feels valued

✨ Effective change management—leading with clarity and confidence during transitions

Friend, I invite you to reflect on your own communication style and how articulating your needs can strengthen both leadership and relationships. Whether you’re guiding a team, mentoring others, or simply looking to improve everyday interactions, this conversation is full of gems you won’t want to miss.

Let Jasmine and I know what your communication animal is by tagging @jasminestar and @biancajuarezofficial.

Love you,
