Stand Tall & Own It
“Just be you!” they say. But for high-performing women, "just being you" hasn't always been safe or smart—whether it’s at school, work, church, the PTA, or even at that exclusive networking event.
Holding back kills your authenticity and limits your impact.
Even in a world that’s more welcoming to strong female leaders, feeling “safe” in your own skin is still a challenge. To lead with confidence and clarity, you must first understand your true value, recognize how you fit (or don’t) into society’s expectations, and embrace that leadership solutions aren’t one-size-fits-all—they’re as unique as the women who lead with them.
This podcast is for high-performing women who are ready to take charge and lead authentically. It’s time to claim the clarity, confidence, and permission to create an impact that reflects your true leadership style. Join me as we explore how to navigate challenges, embrace your individuality, and build a leadership path that's uniquely yours.
If you're ready to dig deeper into discovering and aligning your Core Values, explore my Core Values Course and Core Values Coaching to get the tools and support you need to lead with authenticity. Subscribe now and start owning your leadership today!

As the year winds down, it's natural to reflect on where we've been and where we're headed. In this episode, we're diving into a powerful and often misunderstood concept: Deconstruction—not just as a personal growth tool but as a vital process for uncovering and honoring your Core Values.
If you've ever felt stuck, unsure where to start, or hesitant to face the hard work of self-discovery, you're not alone. I'll unpack common fears and misconceptions about deconstruction, show how it's intertwined with identifying your Core Values, and explain why it's essential for authentic leadership and personal growth.
You'll learn:
▶️ How deconstruction reveals the motivations behind your actions and beliefs.
▶️ Why your Core Values are key to building confidence, clarity, and resilience.
▶️ Practical insights into disentangling assumptions, beliefs, and conditioning to embrace your authentic self.
