Stand Tall & Own It - Empowering Purpose-Driven Women to Lead with Authenticity and Impact
"Just be you!" they say. But for high-performing women, "just being you" hasn’t always felt safe or practical—whether it’s at work, school, church, or even at exclusive networking events. For purpose-driven women and founders, holding back can limit your impact and undermine your authenticity.
Even in a world that’s more welcoming to strong female leaders, feeling truly "safe" in your own skin is still a challenge. To lead with clarity and confidence, you must first understand your value, embrace your individuality, and recognize that the solutions you need are as unique as you are.
This podcast is for modern women who lead with purpose and are ready to embrace their full potential and create an impact that aligns with their vision and values. It’s time to find the clarity and confidence to lead in a way that’s authentic to you. Join me as we explore how to navigate challenges, honor your unique path, and make a lasting difference.

Topics discussed in this episode:
Leadership Principles:
- Keep going - don’t stop. You have to look but the answer will always show up…keep going.
- Look into your own story. Your obstacles are your own, but they should never lead you to give up.
Habits:
- Engage in regular curiosity.
- Be intentional about turning things upside down on purpose in order to train yourself to see things differently.
Green Flags:
- When you hear or see someone speak and it resonates with you, tell them. It opens up communication lines that build bridges. Give specific feedback.
- There are commonalities and contrasts, go to the contrasts - outside of the comfort zone, this is where adventure awaits.
- Dive deep. We have a tendency to be very shallow. Knowing something deeply from all sides and angles gives you confidence.
