Ep. 18: Embodying boldness, trust & love, with Sheila Lirio Marcelo

Co-Founder and CEO, Ohai.ai

This week on The Leadership Dance, I sit down with Sheila Lirio Marcelo — serial entrepreneur, Care.com founder, and now CEO of Ohai.ai — for a powerful conversation about embodied leadership, caregiving, and trusting your inner wisdom.

Watch on YouTube

Sheila’s story is one of extraordinary resilience: becoming a mom while in college, building a billion-dollar company while raising two sons, and now pioneering AI for families — all while staying grounded in her values.

We talk about:

  • Learning to lead with both head and heart

  • Trusting the body as a source of truth

  • Redefining boldness through care, not ego

  • The daily practice of meditation

  • Building a life of purpose — not just success

And yes, she’s now a very joyful grandmother.

Sheila reminds us that authentic boldness isn’t about forcing outcomes — it’s about flowing with life, getting in touch with yourself, and leading with love.
