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!

This week’s episode is about a topic I’m personally very familiar with: underearning.
Underearning is about more than just money. It’s about how confident you feel inside, how honest you’re willing to be with yourself, and how brave you’re willing to be when it comes to asking for the salary you actually desire.
So often, breaking the cycle of underearning is a crucial step in your confidence-building journey.
In this week’s episode, I’m diving DEEP into the link between self-confidence and underearning so I can empower you to grow your confidence AND your salary in tandem. Tune in to learn how.
I hope you enjoy!
