Sensitive. Ep 25: Self-Leadership for Sensitive Entrepreneurs: Redefining Success with Alexandra Covucci
In this episode of Sensitive., I sit down with someone I deeply admire and have quietly followed for years: Alexandra Covucci, a leadership coach who not only teaches transformation, but embodies it.
Whether she’s taking a sabbatical from social media to re-root in inner stillness, or leaning gently into the work of intimacy and self-trust, Alex lives what she teaches. Her leadership is not performative — it’s devotional. And in this conversation, we explore what it really means to lead ourselves first.
We talk about:
- How Alex defines leadership (and why it starts within)
- The most pivotal moments in her own growth as a business owner
- What high-capacity, highly sensitive leaders struggle with most
- The truth about self-partnering as the foundation of self-leadership
- Why strategy alone won’t save you — and how to come home to yourself instead
- The quiet patterns that hold so many brilliant leaders back
- How to redefine success so it actually feels like success
This one is for the big-hearted leaders, the deep feelers, the sensitive visionaries.
The ones walking their talk — even when no one’s watching.
