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.

Resilience can be applied to any area of your life. Weight loss and the struggle that it is has been a hot topic lately, so I’m sharing a bit of my story, and how resilience plays a role in how I have lost, and manage my weight - and you can too.
Intentional Optimism - Your Vehicle for Personal Growth:
- Optimistic = The hull, the vehicle that gets you from island A to island B.
- Present = The centerboard - keeps you upright, focused, centered.
- Energetic = The sail - captures & harnesses the wind, propelling you forward.
- Courageous = The rigging - holds everything together in proper tension, resilience.
- Wise = The rudder - keeps you on track, heading in the right direction.
- Intentional = Setting everything up to properly capture the wind.
Topics discussed in this episode:
RESILIENCE:
- CHARACTER: I choose to do what I say I will do, even when it's hard, because the more I practice, the more solid my character becomes.
- CONSISTENCY: I do the small things, daily, that make big things possible. My processes and methods are aligned with my "why."
- FOCUS: I keep my eye on the prize. Knowing where I'm going prevents getting distracted by challenges.
Ready to make changes in your weight loss journey?
- There’s NO quick fix - you have to be willing to work for it.
- There IS an answer - it’s unique and individual to you.
- You CAN be resilient! If you are successful in other areas, you can be successful here.
