2026/01/13

You don’t need to feel ready to start. You just need to start. That’s exactly what Sarah Barnes-Humphrey did when her life and career imploded overnight. In this conversation, Sarah opens up about what it took to rebuild her confidence from scratch and how she used small steps, side hustles, and her own voice to get there. We talk about what it really means to be seen, and why self-worth isn’t something you wait to feel. It’s something you create. Today, Sarah is the host of the Blended podca...

How to Lead When Confidence Wanes

How to Get What You Want ·

2026/01/06

If confidence were constant, leadership would be easy. But it’s not. One moment you feel solid, the next you’re second-guessing everything. That shift can throw off your presence, your voice, even your ability to ask for what you need. In this episode, I’m breaking down why that happens, what it means about your leadership (hint: it’s not a flaw), and how to lead yourself through those moments. Confidence isn’t fixed, and the more you understand that, the more prepared you’ll be to show up th...

Build Career Options Before You Need Them

How to Get What You Want ·

2025/12/30

If your role changed tomorrow, would you have options or just panic? Most people assume their company will guide their career. That someone, somewhere, is thinking about their growth. But here's the truth: no one is planning your next move but you. In this episode, I’m sharing a core negotiator mindset shift: build your BATNA before you need it. You’ll hear what a senior leader told me about how he evaluates his team’s preparedness, and why confidence doesn’t come from certainty. It com...

Are You Diluting Your Power Without Realizing It?

How to Get What You Want ·

2025/12/23

It’s not just what you ask for. It’s how you ask for it. In this episode, I’m walking through three deceptively simple strategies that have helped countless women shift how they show up, how they’re perceived, and how confidently they navigate their work. If you’ve ever walked away from a meeting thinking, I could have handled that differently, this is for you. We’re talking about silence, framing, and the ask. These aren’t nice-to-haves. They’re everyday negotiation tools that sharpen your i...

Why Smart Women Miss Opportunities

How to Get What You Want ·

2025/12/16

Sometimes we know exactly what we want, but we don’t raise our hand. We hesitate. We wait. And the opportunity passes us by. In this episode, I’m talking about what holds us back from stepping up, why hesitation costs more than we think, and how to catch ourselves in the moments we stay small. Smart women miss out. Not because they’re unqualified. Because they don’t prepare for the moment when opportunity quietly appears. Let’s change that. You’ll walk away knowing what to look for, wha...

When Your Boss Pulls Away, Is It You or Them?

How to Get What You Want ·

2025/12/09

One day you’re having regular one-on-ones with your boss, and the next? Silence. Fewer meetings. Less context. No feedback. It’s easy to assume it’s personal, but is it? In this episode, I’m talking about what’s really going on when a leader suddenly gets quiet and how to manage up without spiraling into insecurity. If you’ve ever felt like your boss’s behavior changed overnight, this conversation will help you step back, zoom out, and approach the situation with clarity and confidence. You’l...

How Confidence Changes the Conversation

How to Get What You Want ·

2025/12/02

Ever seen someone walk into a room and instantly command it, without saying a word? That’s confidence. Not ego, not arrogance. Just belief. And belief is leverage. In this episode, I’m talking about the power of calibrated confidence—why it influences others, how it opens up opportunities, and what it actually looks like in a negotiation. You don’t have to fake it. But you do have to find it, own it, and use it. Whether you're walking into a high-stakes meeting or making an ask that makes you...

Are You Leaving or Leading?

How to Get What You Want ·

2025/11/25

Most people put all their focus on the new job when they leave a role. But if that’s where your attention ends, you’re missing a huge opportunity. I want to show you how to leave well, not just logistically, but strategically. In this episode, I’m walking you through a real example of how one woman made a career move with intention, influence, and grace. Because how you exit matters just as much as how you show up. Your influence doesn’t end when your badge turns in. If you’re planning a move...

What Happens When Certainty Disappears

2025/11/18

You’re doing well at work, but something changes. A layoff, a canceled meeting, your boss goes quiet. And suddenly, your confidence takes a hit. That’s scarcity creeping in. In this episode, I’m unpacking what it looks like when fear takes the wheel, even when your role is secure. I’ll share real client stories, personal reflections, and the ripple effects that happen when scarcity starts showing up in how we lead, communicate, and make decisions.

You don’t need a perfect plan. You need a practiced one. Whether it’s a big presentation, a negotiation, or a quick meeting that could escalate fast, how you prepare can make or break the outcome. In this episode, I’m talking about the real reason women get sidelined in high-stakes conversations and how to train yourself to stay grounded, focused, and agile no matter what comes up. These aren’t hypothetical tips. This is what top leaders actually do to stay ready, even when the conversation t...

Are you growing as a leader, or just collecting titles? That’s the question I explored with my guest Tinna Jackson, a powerhouse with experience in politics, nonprofits, and corporate leadership. We talk about what happens when your job no longer fits, how to recognize your natural talents, and why emotional intelligence isn’t optional if you want to lead well.

How to Receive Feedback and Actually Use It

How to Get What You Want ·

2025/10/28

Last week we talked about how to give feedback that actually lands. This week, we’re flipping it. Are you getting the kind of feedback that helps you grow? And more importantly, are you using it? The higher you go in your career, the harder it gets to hear the truth. People assume you’ve got it figured out. They hold back. And unless you’re actively inviting feedback and knowing what to do with it, you miss critical opportunities to grow and evolve your brand as a leader. In this episode, I’m...

How to Give Feedback That Actually Lands

2025/10/21

Giving feedback isn’t the hard part. Making sure it actually lands is where most leaders fall short. If you’re not checking how your message is received or if you're only speaking up when something goes wrong, your feedback might be doing more harm than good. In this episode, I’m walking you through what it really means to deliver feedback that builds trust, clarity, and growth. Whether you're managing a team or mentoring a peer, how you approach these conversations can be the difference betw...

What Would Happen If You Couldn’t Fail? with Karen Ansen

2025/10/14

Getting what you want isn’t always about asking for more. Sometimes it starts with unlearning everything that told you not to. Karen Ansen didn’t follow the traditional career path. She became a lawyer in her 40s, built her own firm, and now advises boards and executives across Australia. However, the real transformation occurred when she stopped waiting for permission and began trusting her own voice.

Delegation Is a Leadership Skill, Not a Task Dump

How to Get What You Want ·

2025/10/07

If you think delegation is just about getting things off your plate, I want to challenge that. When done well, it’s a strategy for leadership, trust, and growth. But most of us fall into the habit of doing too much, holding on too long, or checking in so much that we defeat the purpose entirely. In this episode, I’m sharing what effective delegation really looks like, and how to use it as a tool to develop your team, build trust, and free yourself up to lead. Because if you’re the one doing e...

In this conversation with my friend and seasoned operations leader Jessica Delis, we explore the tension between growing into a role and rushing toward it. Jessica shares what she’s learned from promoting leaders too early, what great leadership actually looks like, and why asking questions, lots of them, is the real power move.

Are Your Emotions Getting in the Way of What You Want?

How to Get What You Want ·

2025/09/23

You can have a solid plan. You can know exactly what you want to say. And still, in the moment, emotions take over. Your body tightens, your brain fogs, and suddenly you’re second-guessing everything. We all get hijacked like this. Even the best negotiators. But the difference is, they know how to notice it and keep moving anyway. In this episode, I’m talking about what emotional pressure really does to your decision-making, how it shows up when the stakes feel high, and what to do when your ...

Ever walk into a meeting and immediately lose your footing, even though you were completely prepared? There’s a reason for that. Too many of us focus only on what we’re going to say, not where we’re saying it or who actually holds the power. In this episode, I’m sharing the overlooked skills that separate confident communicators from everyone else. From reading the power dynamics in the room to knowing exactly when to stop talking and close, this is about making your ask count. If you’re not ...

What To Do When Feedback Feels Wrong

2025/09/02

Not all feedback is helpful. Sometimes it's vague. Sometimes it's self-serving. And sometimes it hits a nerve even when it doesn't feel true. If you’ve ever been told something like "you're not strategic enough" and didn’t know how to respond, this episode will help you find your next step. I’m sharing how to handle feedback that feels off, how to keep it from derailing your confidence, and what it really means to manage perception as a leader. Feedback is just data.
