À propos de ce contenu audio

The podcast for high-level leaders carrying the invisible weight of the world.
If you’re a founder, executive, or high-ranking leader, you already know this truth: the higher you rise, the fewer people you can safely talk to. 
Lonely at the Top is a sanctuary in the storm—a space where the emotional cost of leadership is named, and where relief, clarity, and grounded support are always on the table. Hosted by Soul Medic and former psychotherapist Rachel Alexandria, this podcast dives into the unspoken realities of high-level decision-making: the pressure, the isolation, the doubt, and the fatigue. Each episode offers insight, emotional tools, and conversations with seasoned leaders who’ve learned to navigate the weight of responsibility without losing themselves.© Alexandria Enterprises 2025 Economie Hygiène et vie saine Management Management et direction Psychologie Psychologie et psychiatrie

    • Every Employee Has to Matter with Louis Fordham
      Sep 25 2025

      Episode Summary

      In this conversation with Louis Fordham, Vice President of Human Resources at Engineered Floors, we explore what leadership looks like from the perspective of someone who has spent 35 years guiding executives from inside. Louis shares what it’s like to witness CEOs carry the immense weight of responsibility, why he never aspired to the top job himself, and how isolation is often built into leadership structures by nature. He also opens up about the unique challenges of being an introverted leader, the importance of self-awareness in building strong teams, and the cultural barriers that keep many executives from seeking outside support. With honesty and clarity, Louis brings wisdom from decades in HR to show how leaders can balance responsibility, presence, and humanity without losing themselves.

      Episode Highlights

      • Responsibility at the top: Why Louis believes the CEO and head of HR hold unique responsibility for every employee in an organization.
      • Structural isolation: How the design of executive roles creates inevitable loneliness, regardless of personality.
      • Introversion in leadership: Louis reflects on being an introvert at the leadership table and why self-awareness matters more than extroversion.
      • The “regal” factor: His insight that sometimes employees need their CEO to project steadiness and authority, even when it feels unnatural.
      • Boundaries in HR: A personal story of why he had to stop having a close work friendship to preserve trust and objectivity.

In this conversation, she opens up about the hidden costs of always being the strong one, and the toll it takes when resilience slips into survival mode. Sunni also shares how learning to trust her intuition became vital for navigating uncharted seasons of leadership with honesty and humanity.

      Episode Highlights

      • Sunni reflects on “faith-it-till-you-make-it” moments from her corporate technology career, stepping into roles without a clear roadmap but learning to trust herself along the way.
      • She describes her intuitive knowing—how she often sensed the right direction before she had the data or strategy to prove it.
      • Sunni shares the cost of always being the strong one: “Other things suffered… we cannot honor everything equally. Other things will suffer.”
      • She opens up about the emotional toll of leadership, noting how resilience can quietly morph into depletion and isolation.
      • Sunni challenges the myth of endless endurance, naming the relief she found in allowing herself to stop projects or step away when her whole body said no.
