When Aubria Ralph’s mom told her to pack her bags mid-workday, she didn’t panic; she made a plan. That single moment set her on a path of fierce self-reliance and ambition. In this episode, Aubria shares how that experience, and others like it, shaped her into the scrappy, strategic force she is today.
We talk about learning to trust your voice, saying yes before everything is “figured out,” and how working in fashion, getting a master's in medieval studies, and navigating law school while grieving all became part of her nonlinear, powerful journey. Aubria also opens up about why she launched Scrappy Girl Project after leaving big law, and how she’s redefining success by helping others lead with strategy, clarity, and heart.
