You don’t need to be 100% perfect in order to make a powerful impression on your audience when you speak. In fact, you’ll get way more bang for your buck if you focus your attention away from trying to be perfect, and onto the things that actually matter..
In today’s episode, I’m walking you through the 1 key ingredient that’ll help you be compelling when you speak. Spoiler: it does NOT require you to be, feel, or sound perfect (like, at all.)
I can’t wait for you to let go of the high-pressure, perfectionist expectations and adopt this brand new perspective that’ll feel like a RELIEF and that’ll change the way you view communication.

If you want to create BIG success in a leadership role, this week’s episode is for you.
So many of my clients have a false belief that in order to succeed in a high-level leadership role, they need to 1) give up their values and be tougher on people, and 2) be more skilled at their job.
I disagree. In fact, I think that who you are, right NOW, with your current values, personality, and imperfect skillset is MORE than enough for you to thrive as a leader. And in today’s episode, I’m determined to show you why that's true.
You don’t need to become someone different to rise up and succeed professionally. You need to do the exact opposite and learn to be MORE of who you already are.
Are you ready to start doing that? Tune in and I’ll show you how.

If you’ve ever felt consumed by feelings of unworthiness & self-doubt, today’s episode is for you.
This episode is a vulnerable share where I’ll be telling you a story about how I learned to navigate debilitating self-doubt in my corporate career.
This week I’m reading a personal essay I wrote about my struggle to answer this one very common job interview question:
“So, tell me about yourself.”
This question used to send me into a tailspin of panic, overwhelm, and insecurity. This week’s episode is all about how I learned to find genuine confidence and answer that question loudly and proudly despite having struggled with it so deeply.
My hope is to make your heart feel a little lighter, and your confidence a little bit bigger after you listen to this. If you struggle to feel good about yourself, you’re definitely not alone <3 And - with a little patience and self-compassion, I promise, it gets better.
Enjoy!
