What would you do if fear showed up right when your dream did? Picture this: you’re standing at the top of a mountain in Alaska. The helicopter that dropped you off is gone, and the slope below looks impossibly steep. There’s no one to follow, no way back, and one voice on the radio says, “Three, two, one… go.” That was Jennie “AdrenaJen” Milton’s 30th birthday and the moment that changed her life. In this episode of Rooted in Your Confidence, Jennie shares how facing literal mountains taught...

“I’m seven months away from retirement after 25+ years in a male-dominated industry, but thriving didn’t start at the end. It started the moment I took back my time.

What Do You Carry Into the Room With You?

2025/09/01

What do you carry into the room with you? Not the bag on your arm or the title on your badge but the weight of expectations, doubts, and responsibilities that show up before you even speak. In this episode of Rooted in Your Confidence, I’m sharing what happens when we carry everything alone, why it shows up in our body as tension and stress, and how the Brag Bag™ helps us stitch ourselves back together with self-trust, belief, and boundaries.

Diversity isn’t a checkbox but too many workplaces treat it like one. In this episode, I share a raw, real story of being excluded from my own hiring panel, the gaslighting that followed, and how “optics” were prioritized over true inclusion. This isn’t just my story it’s about every professional who’s been overlooked, every Black man denied opportunity, and every woman forced to prove her worth twice over. We’ll talk about the exhaustion of fighting, the courage of standing firm in your trut...

I came back from medical leave ready to lead my team, only to discover they’d set up an interview panel for a position that would report directly to me… without me. Not only was I excluded, but they put men who’d never worked in my department on the panel. Men with agendas. Men, I’d specifically requested never to work with again. Years ago, I would have swallowed it. Told myself it didn’t matter. But I’m not that woman anymore. In this foundational episode of Rooted in Your Confidence, I sha...

Ladies, this one is powerful.

In this raw and unfiltered solo episode, I’m opening up about something a lot of women in male-dominated industries wrestle with—but don’t always say out loud: Do I stay, or do I build my own table? After 25+ years in a field that’s only 8% women, I’ve got stories. Like the time a grown man called my house—not my work line—because I gave a directive he didn’t like. Why? Because some people want us to feel so uncomfortable that we choose to leave. But here’s the truth they don’t want you...

Sweta shares a powerful moment about asking for a raise and being told "your husband has a good job"—and how that experience taught her to advocate for herself.

This conversation right here? It’s honest. It’s layered. And it’s bigger than opinions. Tiffany Sims and I sat down to talk about what it really means to show up as a woman in male-dominated spaces. We didn’t agree on everything and that’s exactly why this episode matters. Tiffany shared her story, and I respect that. But we have to be real: not every woman has the same access, the same options, or the same ability to just “build her own table.” Especially not Black women. Some of us are st...

In this episode of Rooted in Your Confidence, Samantha Kaye Harris is calling out the labels that have been used to shrink women in male-dominated industries: too aggressive, too emotional, too strong, too much. She breaks down how these labels are not reflections of who we are — they’re projections of how uncomfortable others feel when we show up fully. Samantha shares real-life experiences, including being called “too happy” at work and being accused of bullying simply for holding someone a...
