Life as a working mom can be tough, and in this week’s episode I wanted to bring in a perspective to help those of you who are working moms build a career (and life) that honors your needs as both a mom AND a human. Today’s guest Hannah is a parent empowerment coach and dear friend of mine who supports moms in building lives that honor their goals alongside all they do as parents. Tune in to hear us chat about topics like:
-Navigating the challenges involved in being a working mom
-Navigating the decision of whether or not to have kids
-Carving out time for parental obligations even if you work a 9-5
-Honoring your own needs alongside your role as a parent
-Untangling from self-blame
And so much more!
I absolutely loved this conversation.

If you want to advance professionally, there are few things more important than thought leadership. In fact – I’d argue that thought leadership is MORE important than having strong communication skills. Tune into today’s episode to learn exactly what thought leadership, why it matters SO much for your career, and how to make sure fear and impostor syndrome don’t prevent you from contributing your unique genius in that meeting room.
I hope this episode FIRES you up and encourages you to be just a teensy bit more courageous in that next meeting you’re in! Your willingness to be brave will pave the way for your career as a leader.

Today’s episode continues my mini-series on standing out in meetings, and today we’re talking about one of the most important things for your career: authority.
Authority means that when you speak, people quiet down and listen. They see you as being credible, and they actively tune in when you communicate because they trust that your perspective is important.
In today’s episode, I’m walking you through what will help you convey authority when you speak, even if you are someone who identifies as being more on the shy or quiet side. The wonderful news is – no matter what your authentic communication style is – developing authority is totally possible and doable for you.
I hope you find today’s episode super useful.

If you want to be upwardly mobile in your career, you have to master visibility. Visibility means that you’re speaking up enough in meetings for your boss and the leaders around you to remember you and get to know you. The more visible you become, the more your reputation builds and the faster you accelerate in your career. In today’s episode, I’m walking you through why it’s so important to get more visible, and helping you begin to overcome some of the internal obstacles that might prevent you from speaking up and getting super visible in those meeting rooms.
I hope you enjoy this episode!

Do you pressure yourself to sound super smart when you speak up in meetings?
If you do – I want you to know that this is totally normal, and something we ALL do. We’re messy humans who want people to think positive things about us – so naturally, we sometimes get preoccupied with sounding smart when we speak.
But - the problem with trying to sound smart when you speak is that it ends up causing you to sound LESS smart. In fact, focusing on sounding smart can really get in the way of you becoming a powerful communicator.
In this week’s episode, I’m explaining why this is true, and suggesting a totally different (and far more effective approach) to dazzling your audience. And the good news is – it’s a lot easier than trying to sound smart.
I hope you enjoy this week’s episode!

The solution to self-doubt and impostor syndrome is NOT to eliminate it, but simply to make sure it doesn’t unintentionally sabotage the growth of your career. You have so much talent to offer and SO much potential to do big things in your role, and learning to navigate impostor syndrome will help you do that much, much faster. In this week’s episode, I’m sharing my #1 most effective tool for navigating self-doubt and impostor syndrome. No matter how strongly you might believe that you’re the unlucky one whose impostor syndrome is just too big to tackle, I beg to differ….and in today’s episode I want to try to show you that you might not be as stuck as you think you are (and give you some tools to help you prove that to yourself, as well).
I hope you enjoy this episode!
