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.

With over 20 years of corporate experience, Jean Tien knows that juggling a successful career with being a mom can feel fruitless. Though she flourished in that world, she learned that “happily ever after” doesn’t happen just because you make more money or climb the corporate ladder. No matter how much she achieved, Jean knew she’d never be satisfied conforming to someone else’s definition of success so she created her own: the S.U.C.C.E.S.S Method for ambitious women to achieve the success they never thought possible.
Leadership Principle:
Curiosity creates openness, so be open and curious without pre-judgment or expectations.
Habits to help with productivity:
- Seize opportunities, like your morning commute, to tune out the noise with a quick meditation and grounding exercise, giving you a clear mind to start each day.
- Watch for triggers throughout the day - then journal or step away to switch out your mood.
- Double inhale breathing - biggest way to reduce stress.
Green Flags to help you determine if you’re ready for help:
- Are you at the END of your ideas?
- Are you curious and asking a lot of questions?
- See others as a resource - see people as an area of expertise you don’t have.
Advice for small businesses:
- Don’t give up - there’s always a way. Reach out for help and remember you don’t have to do it on your own.
- Find those people who are in your corner, knowing they are with you will make a difference.
