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.

Feedback or Questions? Send us a text!
Episode summary introduction: A practice of regular reflection is part of the natural growth cycle, and provides the feedback you need in order to reach your goals. Today we will look at the type of information the process of reflection provides, and what to do with it.
Intentional Optimism - Your Vehicle for Personal Growth:
- Optimistic = The hull, the vehicle that gets you from island A to island B.
- Present = The centerboard - keeps you upright, focused, centered.
- Energetic = The sail - captures & harnesses the wind, propelling you forward.
- Courageous = The rigging - holds everything together in proper tension, resilience.
- Wise = The rudder - keeps you on track, heading in the right direction.
- Intentional = Setting everything up to properly capture the wind.
Topics discussed in this episode:
PURPOSE OF REFLECTION
- Remember what we said we were going to do or become - because we forget.
- Prevents distraction by circumstances or opportunities that take us away from our goal - because we get distracted.
- Regular, time stamped mile markers that provide proof of progress or point to the need for a trajectory adjustment - because we get discouraged.
THE GROWTH CYCLE
- Set the Goal/make a Plan
- Act on that plan
- Reflect/Review your progress (Planned or not)
- Adjust or Achieve (what’s next?)
- Start over
RESULTS OF REFLECTION
- You’re way off target - you may be going in the wrong direction
- Give up - not really - just go back to the beginning
- Reset (turn around) - adjust your direction or actions
- You’re headed in the right direction but your timeline is off
- Adjust the timeline
- Figure out if what you are doing is serving your goal
- On Target
- Reaching, meeting or achieving your goal
