"Just be you!" they say. But for high-performing women, "just being you" hasn’t always felt safe or practical—whether it’s at work, school, church, or even at exclusive networking events. For purpose-driven women and founders, holding back can limit your impact and undermine your authenticity.

Even in a world that’s more welcoming to strong female leaders, feeling truly "safe" in your own skin is still a challenge. To lead with clarity and confidence, you must first understand your value, embrace your individuality, and recognize that the solutions you need are as unique as you are.

This podcast is for modern women who lead with purpose and are ready to embrace their full potential and create an impact that aligns with their vision and values. It’s time to find the clarity and confidence to lead in a way that’s authentic to you. Join me as we explore how to navigate challenges, honor your unique path, and make a lasting difference.

  • Boundaries Are Leadership: Lead With Clarity, Not Apology

    Boundaries Are Leadership: Lead With Clarity, Not Apology
    Oct 14 2025

    1 BIG IDEA
    Boundaries are not rejection—they are leadership. Setting and holding clear boundaries protects your energy, builds trust, and models integrity. For purpose-driven women, boundaries are not about being mean or difficult; they are about leading with clarity, courage, and care.

    3 WAYS TO APPLY THIS

    • Protect your energy: Identify one place where overextending is costing you and draw a line.
    • Model healthy leadership: Communicate boundaries clearly so your team feels safe to do the same.
    • Anchor in Core Values: Use your values as the blueprint for when and where to set limits.

    3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

    1. Where in my leadership role am I currently stretched too thin?
    2. Which Core Value is being dishonored when I fail to hold a boundary?
    3. How can I communicate my boundary with clarity and care, rather than apology?

  • Joyful Defiance: Leading With Conviction

    Joyful Defiance: Leading With Conviction
    Oct 7 2025

    Feedback or Questions? Send us a text!

    1 BIG IDEA
    What does resistance really look like in leadership? It’s not rebellion or rage — it’s conviction anchored in joy. In this episode, Andrea Johnson, The Intentional Optimist, explains how joyful defiance helps women leaders resist conformity, lead with authenticity, and protect their humanity in high-pressure environments.

    3 WAYS TO APPLY THIS

    • Hold firm to one Core Value this week, even if it costs you comfort or approval.
    • Practice joy as resistance — choose humor, gratitude, or curiosity instead of cynicism.
    • Pair clarity with compassion in your leadership. Conviction + humanity = influence.

    3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

    1. Where in my leadership am I tempted to conform instead of stand in conviction?
    2. How could I embody joyful defiance — leading with both steadiness and celebration — in one situation this week?
    3. What boundary or value is worth holding firm, even if it costs me comfort or approval?

  • Stop Reacting. Start Leading.

    Stop Reacting. Start Leading.

    1 BIG IDEA
    Knowing your Core Values is just the beginning. The Recognize–Reflect–Respond rhythm is how you lead with intention instead of instinct—especially when things feel fast, loud, or reactive.

    3 WAYS TO APPLY THIS

    • Pause before responding—ask: “What value is at stake here?”
    • Buy time with: “I need a moment to think about how I want to respond.”
    • Check: Am I reacting from urgency—or responding from clarity?

    3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

    • Where am I most reactive right now?
    • What does that reveal about what matters to me?
    • What would shift if I used this rhythm?
