I was recently given the opportunity to step into some volunteer work at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Seattle. While I suspected I would find this work meaningful and enjoyable, I didn’t expect to be so overwhelmingly impressed with every aspect of the Cristo Rey mission and how their work is setting up students to be incredible leaders from such a young age. As this work has quickly become very near and dear to my heart, I thought it would be fun to have a different kind of leadership

Perhaps we need to stop celebrating resilience. Because we may actually be celebrating toxic resilience. Hear me out. In the corporate world, telling a woman she is resilient is often just a polite way of saying, “We are going to give you an impossible workload, broken systems, and no support… and we expect you to smile through it.” In fact, if you’re complimenting my resilience, I may question if you were complicit in building and upholding the systems that made my resilience mandatory when yours

How often do you take action in a way that makes you think, “This is going to get me where I want to go!”My guess is that you’re not taking these kinds of strategic action steps often enough, AND you’re probably taking many other action steps each day that are not helping advance your career growth. In fact, you may be stuck in a vicious (exhausting?!) cycle of over-giving, over-producing, and over-proving yourself without any long-term benefit to your career. In this episode, I’m sharing five

2026/02/03

When the world feels heavy and chaotic, I hear the same question from leaders over and over again: “What do I say?” In this episode, I talk about why that question matters and why saying nothing can be just as harmful as saying the wrong thing. When the people we lead are overwhelmed, grieving, angry, or exhausted, pretending it’s business as usual erodes trust and undermines our integrity as leaders. You don’t need perfect words or a polished message, but you do need the willingness to name the

“Work that is meaningful has the power to change not just what we do, but who we become.” Gloria SteinemMeaningful work isn’t just about what you do for a living—it’s about how your values, strengths, and sense of purpose show up in the world. Meaningful work is where your strengths, values, and actions intersect to drive a sense of purpose. In this episode, I explore why meaningful work matters so deeply, especially for leaders and high achievers who look successful on paper but feel

2026/01/20

Leadership in 2026 is asking more of us. But, not necessarily in volume, output, or productivity. It’s asking more from us in terms of depth, awareness, nuance, and intentionality. The old leadership rules simply aren’t holding anymore - which is a good thing! In this episode, I break down six leadership trends I’m seeing shift in real time and what they mean for how we communicate, build trust, measure success, and lead humans through complexity and change.

Leadership visibility sounds empowering, even exciting… until you’re the one being seen. In this episode, I’m talking about why stepping into new levels of visibility so often triggers discomfort, imposter syndrome, and a very loud inner critic, especially for women and others who were never encouraged to take up space or were judged for doing so in the past. I share a recent conversation with a friend facing a visibility opportunity and how it sparked a deeper reflection on why being seen can feel

2026/01/06

The Lean In and McKinsey & Company Women in the Workplace 2025 report claims that, for the first time, women are less likely than men to want a promotion, stating that 80% of women want to be promoted to the next level, compared to 86% of men. They label this development an “ambition gap”, stating that women are currently less ambitious than men. This label is wildly inaccurate, deeply offensive, and grossly irresponsible. Calling these findings an “ambition gap” is strategic reframing that places

In early 2025, my dear friend Jennifer started telling me about how she was preparing for her youngest child to leave for college. She was celebrating this parenting milestone while also preparing for the grief. Simultaneously, she was watching her father’s health deteriorate. She knew 2025 would be a year of massive change. And, it most certainly was. I had the opportunity to connect with Jennifer throughout the year, and when she felt ready, I was honored to invite her to the show to discuss

As we head into a new year, I’m just as focused on breaking rules as I am on setting goals. In this episode, I share six leadership “rules” most of us have followed for years that I’m consciously unlearning as I step into 2026. These are the quiet, normalized rules that fuel burnout, decision fatigue, over-functioning, and self-silencing - especially for women and especially in midlife. This episode is both a reflection and an invitation to question the rules you’ve inherited, absorbed, or outgrown,

There is no denying that 2025 has been a doozy for women and anyone carrying a marginalized identity. AND… I’m seeing midlife women step into a completely new season of power, clarity, and momentum. We are the backbone of everything strong and sustainable, including our companies, our communities, and our families. For decades, we've been the stabilizers, culture shapers/shifters/carriers, and trust-builders, and now organizations and society are finally waking up to the value of lived experience,

I love having mentors. Watching and learning as others navigate the world is one of my superpowers. Sometimes I feel like a spy as I closely and quietly observe the behavior of others and think, “Oh, I want to be more like THAT.” Because I love learning and growing personally and professionally, I have hired many mentors and coaches over the years - paying well over 6 figures to learn how to improve many aspects of my life. However, some of the most important mentorships I’ve benefited from

When there is something that directly impacts 50% of our population, 100% of us are impacted in some way. We need to be talking about menopause at work. Period.

Maybe because for the first 48ish years of my life, it felt one million years away. Then, suddenly it’s just… here… For the past few months, people have been asking me what I plan to do to celebrate this monumental birthday and it’s felt overwhelming to decide on one thing.

In this episode, I’m exposing the Authenticity Trap for you. The Authenticity Trap is the mixed messages women get about “being themselves.” We’re told authenticity is the key to trust, confidence, and influence, yet many of us were conditioned to 1) think we need to lead like men if we want to make it to the top to serve, and 2) constantly abandon our own needs and wants to center and care for those around us. That means when we try to show up authentically, we often bump up against years of

I was thrilled when I learned that past podcast guest Jessica Frew wrote an entire book on decision-making. Decision fatigue is real and so very exhausting. It holds us back from taking action, best leveraging our time and energy, and truly trusting ourselves. Jessica is a firecracker and I know this conversation will give you some great AHA’s about becoming a more decisive person. Jessica Frew is an author, speaker, coach, wife, ex-wife, mom, stepmom, and BOLD action taker. She believes that

When it comes to giving yourself credit for your wins and accomplishments, how would you rate yourself? Are you a strong self-promoter? Do you share your accomplishments with others and routinely make it known that you’re up to great things? Or, do you tend to shy away from shining too brightly in front of others?As women leaders, we’re often taught to keep our heads down, work hard, and let our results speak for themselves. But here’s the truth: results don’t speak. People do. If we’re not

2025/10/21

One of the trickiest parts of leadership for women, and even more so for women of color, is the tension between being authentic and being “good”. When we focus on being “good,” we often self-sacrifice and push ourselves to uphold someone else’s vision of who we “should” be as a leader. This can be exhausting, unsustainable, and even damaging to our sense of self over time. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to discuss this topic with La Tonya Roberts.

As I’ve been helping leaders build out intentional journeys in growth over the last few years, I’ve realized a handful of key steps that come together to create a powerful roadmap to leadership success.
