Stand Tall & Own It - Equipping Purpose-Driven Leaders to Show Up with Authenticity and Courage
“Just be you,” they say. But for many high-achievers, “just being you” hasn’t always felt safe or practical—whether it’s at work, school, church, or even in leadership circles. For purpose-driven leaders, holding back can limit your impact and undermine your authenticity.
Even in workplaces that claim to value individuality, leading with confidence and conviction still takes courage. To lead with steadiness and clarity, you must first understand your values, embrace your individuality, and recognize that the solutions you need are as unique as you are.
Stand Tall & Own It is for modern leaders who want to lead with purpose, integrity, and courage—without sacrificing who they are. Each episode explores how to navigate challenges, make values-anchored decisions, and cultivate the discernment to think critically in a noisy world.

Merry Christmas, my friend! In this is the last episode of 2023, I want to leave you with a little encouragement, and a vision for 2024.
“Stand Tall and Own It” means we don’t hide who we are - from ourselves or others. We share our wisdom, our opinions and our boundaries - all with grace and kindness. In this episode, I share some topics we’ll tackle in 2024. The goal is to equip you with the tools you need to embrace your unique leadership potential.
Courageously diving into more details on critical thinking, faith deconstruction, mental health and the grief associated with all of that, will help you stand tall, own your power, and make a significant impact in your life and community.
