Episode Synopsis
Welcome to the Miles Zen Podcast! In this episode, we sit down with Alanna Hnatiw, Mayor of Sturgeon County, Alberta, for a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation. I think this should be required listening for all mayors on how to lead and be the best human you can be. From her early days as a small business owner in the oil and gas sector to her current role in public service, Mayor Hnatiw shares how personal growth, yoga, horses and a deep connection to community have shaped her leadership journey.We explore the challenges of public office, the importance of staying grounded, and how she navigates criticism, fear, and imposter syndrome with grace.
