Stand Tall & Own It
“Just be you!” That’s what they all say. But it hasn’t always been safe or smart for high performing women - at school, at work, at church, at the PTA or even that exclusive networking event. Holding back kills your authenticity, and limits your impact. Just because we live in a world that is more friendly to strong, female leaders, that doesn't mean you feel "safe" being you. That's why it's imperative to know you, how you fit (or don’t) into the greater expectations of society, and understand that cookie-cutter leadership solutions will never be the answer. Each solution is as unique as the leader it is for.
This podcast was created for high performing female leaders who are ready to make an impact by discovering the safety that comes from understanding their own value and exercising their authority. It’s time to truly “be you,” to Stand Tall & Own It.

Answering the Tough Question: What’s the Difference Between Core Values and Life Principles?
Have you ever wondered how to differentiate the guiding convictions that define who you are from the fundamental truths that steer your behavior? This episode is for you!
In this episode, you’ll learn the difference between Core Values and Life Principles.
There are three quick steps to see if your Core Values are actually your Life Principles:
- Inside vs. Outside: It's essential to move from imitating others' principles to defining your own for sustainable, impactful leadership.
- Honoring vs. Aligning: Differentiate between honoring your values—holding them in great respect—and aligning with behaviors that might only modify your actions superficially.
- Your Authority vs. Someone Else’s Authority: See how reinforcing your authority helps you show up authentically, whereas borrowing someone else’s principles might not fully represent who you are.
Practically speaking, understand how both core values and principles give you a realistic roadmap for showing up as your best self.
By the end of this episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of how your Core Values act as your compass, while your Life Principles serve as your mode of transportation. You'll see how borrowing principles - like Intentional Optimism - can be a great starting point, but living out your own principles, aligned with your core values, is key to authentic and impactful leadership.
