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.

Lead Across Generations Now: Unlock Multi-Generational Communication with Core Values
Feedback or Questions? Send us a text!
In this fourth episode of my series on integrating Core Values into life and business, I explore the profound impact Core Values have on intergenerational communication and relationships. With six generations now represented in the workforce for the first time in history, we face unprecedented challenges—and opportunities—for connection and growth.
Core Values are always present, always influencing, and always being honored in some way, even when we aren’t fully aware of them. But how do you bridge the generational divide, foster collaboration, and build meaningful relationships when faced with diverse life experiences?
In this episode, I dive into the power of understanding your own Core Values. When you truly know who you are, you can:
- Decrease defensiveness by being grounded in your identity.
- Establish healthy boundaries and improve communication.
- Extend grace to yourself and others, navigating generational differences with compassion.
By learning to honor the values of others, you create space for mentorship, encouragement, and shared growth across generations. The world needs more curious, open, and wise leaders who understand their Core Values and live by them with integrity, inspiring others to do the same.
I’ll unpack how understanding generational perspectives and celebrating unique contributions can create stronger relationships, foster diversity, and build bridges across the ages—whether in the workplace, at home, or in your community. Whether you're leading a multi-generational team or simply navigating family dynamics, this episode is for you.
