Dropping the Rope: A New Kind of Power Move for Women of Color Leaders

For many women of color, excellence became a survival strategy long before leadership did. So when a board, team, or decision-maker starts tugging on the rope—questioning, nitpicking, shifting expectations—it feels almost impossible to let go.

In this episode, we explore what happens in your body during these moments, how your nervous system tries to keep you safe by pulling harder, and the subtle art of releasing the tug-of-war without losing your grounding or authority. You’ll learn a simple somatic practice, a decision-making framework, and real-world scripts to help you “drop the rope” with clarity, calm, and confidence.

If you’ve ever felt over-responsible or emotionally hijacked in leadership, this episode is for you.
