Stand Tall & Own It - Empowering Purpose-Driven Women to Lead with Authenticity and Impact
"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.

More than 10 years ago, working a corporate job, Dominique Cordero realized she was responsible for her own satisfaction. She sold everything, bought a one-way ticket to Barcelona and spent a year following her life-long dream of learning Spanish to better understand her heritage, opening her world to an additional 560 million people, and seeing the world through a new lens. The experience was transformational. She now runs a successful Spanish Language Coaching business. But what she found unexpectedly rewarding is how many of her students are trying to make more meaningful relationships with the people they serve – through their jobs and community. By helping students learn Spanish, they, in turn, can give an entire population a voice. They understand that being heard is a fundamental human need.
