70. Why High-Achieving Women Fear Their Desire

The Balanced Leader: Merging Logic and Heart in... ·

2026/02/18

What if the reason nothing is changing isn’t because you lack discipline, but because you’ve treated desire like it’s an optional nice-to-have? So many high-achieving women want more space, more influence, more alignment, more ease. And yet they postpone what they want, waiting for a crisis, a breakdown, or external pressure to justify change. We were taught to change when something is wrong, not because something inside of us wants more. But desire isn’t indulgent. It’s information. Tune in this

2026/02/11

If you’re experiencing more pushback lately, more questioning, more resistance, or more polite disagreement, nothing has gone wrong. In fact, it may be the clearest sign that your leadership is expanding. Many high-achieving women reach a moment where leadership suddenly feels heavier, not because they’re less capable, but because they’ve outgrown the version of themselves that relied on being agreeable, adaptable, and easy to work with. In this episode, I unpack why pushback often shows up

68. How High-Achieving Women Actually Change

The Balanced Leader: Merging Logic and Heart in... ·

2026/02/04

Most women don’t stay stuck because they don’t know what they want. They stay because what they’re doing actually works. The strategies that earned you success kept you safe, got you approval, and delivered results. But survival isn’t leadership, and it isn’t freedom. In this episode, I introduce the framework that now underpins all of my work: The Inner Authority Change Model. Drawing from my own transformation and years of coaching high-achieving women, I break down why change isn’t about

"You should smile more." We've all heard it, usually said like a compliment but landing like a command or even a demand. Sometimes it comes when you're giving hard feedback, holding someone accountable, or just being neutral. This episode isn't about convincing you to smile. It's about the empowerment that comes from smiling when it's chosen by you, not demanded by others.

The Balanced Leader: Merging Logic and Heart in... ·

2026/01/14

There is a moment in every powerful woman's life when she realizes something quietly devastating: she's been playing someone else's power game. Power as force, power as control, power as dominance, power as being the hardest working, smartest person in the room. Maybe that worked once, but not anymore. In this episode, I'm exploring why the old definition of power no longer fits, and what happens when you finally see that power isn't who dominates, but who defines the game. Get full show notes,

You've broken ceilings. You've navigated power dynamics. You've proven yourself time and time again. Yet somehow, you wake up asking yourself, “Why am I so tired when I've done everything right?” Here's a truth that might surprise you: you're not burnt out because you're weak. You're burnt out because your nervous system never learned that you win. Think about it. When was the last time you truly savored a victory? When did you last let your body feel the power of what you've accomplished? This

External validation creates a constant hamster wheel where you're putting your self-worth and safety on the line for other people. Self-validation, on the other hand, is about learning to have your own back, especially when tough criticism comes your way or when others are disaffirming you. It's a simple skill that helps you feel less stressed, trust yourself, walk into any room and feel like you belong, and exude confidence in the toughest circumstances.

What if the reason you're exhausted isn't because you're doing too much, but because you're mothering everything and everyone except yourself? Your work, your team, your family, your vision, your next level. You hold it all. You anticipate. You stabilize. You make it work. And your own needs? They get handled later.

When women leaders hit their breaking point, it's not because they lack strength or capability. In this episode, I reveal why so many high-achieving women find themselves exhausted despite their success. The real issue runs much deeper than confidence problems or work-life balance challenges. They’re living their entire leadership life in coping mode.

2025/11/26

Who have you been loyal to lately? Your company? Your boss? Your team? Your family? Or yourself? Loyalty is one of women's greatest strengths… and one of the biggest reasons we burn out. It's what makes us the reliable ones, the go-to problem solvers, the ones who stay late, hold it all together, and fill in the gaps no one else sees. But here’s the truth: loyalty without boundaries isn’t loyalty at all. It’s self-abandonment dressed up as service. Join me this week as I explore the shadow side of

So many women leaders move through their careers feeling like their reactions are automatic, like they’re being pulled by emotion, pressure, or other people’s expectations. In this episode, I want to show you the truth that changed everything for me and for my clients: you always have a choice. Not necessarily a choice over the circumstance, but a choice over how you show up inside it. And that distinction is where your power lives.

You’ve worked your way to the table… but are you shaping the conversation, or reacting to it? This week, I’m breaking down what strategic influence really means for women leaders in male-dominated spaces who want to move from being seen as capable to being recognized as powerful. Influence isn’t about playing politics or performing; it’s about understanding who holds power, how trust flows, and where your voice needs to land.

2025/11/05

Most high-achieving women set goals they already know how to reach. We call it being realistic, but really, it's how we stay safe. The moment we declare something impossible, every fear, doubt, and old identity shows up - but that's also the moment transformation begins. In this special anniversary episode celebrating one year of The Balanced Leader, I explore the concept of impossible goals through my own journey of building a globally ranked podcast now in the top 2% worldwide and preparing for my

The calendar is packed, the Slack pings never stop, and yet the loudest pressure isn't coming from the outside - it's the voice in your own head. You've been told to manage your time, delegate better, use another app, but overwhelm isn't caused by what's on your calendar. Overwhelm starts in your mind and body, and until you learn to command your own thoughts, no system or strategy will free you.
