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.

Have you ever heard of a CVO (Caring Visionary Officer)? Lauri Smith the author of Your Voice Matters: A Guide to Speaking Soulfully When It Counts, is the first one for me! She’s an intuitive public speaking and leadership coach, helps visionaries on a soul-driven mission to stand in their power, speak their truth and lead. Her mission is to call forth more open-hearted leaders so they can do their part to change the world with authenticity, creativity and courage.
Leadership Principle:
Leaders need to develop 3 traits:
- Develop a vision
- Communication of the vision
- Creatively navigate to the vision
Habits to help you stay on top of your goals:
- Yoga / meditation
- If feeling overwhelmed, disengage and go for a walk or a stretch - shift the energy
Green Flags to help you determine if you’re ready for a shift:
- Listen to your intuition - the more you listen, the more you see.
Advice to start listening:
- Ask what your body wants you to know. Notice if it is pulling you towards or resisting.
- Writing down thoughts creates clarity
- 2% truth rule. Identify the kernel of truth in the message - it’s not 100% true it’s only 2% true.
