If you feel like you’re a mess some days and you worry you’ll never feel confident or ‘together’ enough to succeed professionally - I have an important message to share with you.

This is why when it comes to leadership - being an imperfect, messy, struggling human is a GOOD thing. Tune into this week’s episode for more perspective on this. P.S.

If you want to advance into leadership roles (and thrive once you’re in them), you have to master the skill of assertiveness. I see lots of women get stuck when it comes to assertiveness because they think they need to be more aggressive & domineering in order to be assertive (and they *hate* doing this). But what if I told you that your natural kindness and empathy are your greatest superpowers when it comes to assertiveness? It’s true - effective assertiveness isn’t about being the most domineering person in the room. It’s about knowing how to walk the line between directness and collaborativeness - and I believe that kind, empathic humans are equipped to do that better than anyone else. Tune into today’s episode to begin developing an assertive communication style that honors your authentic personality & your values (because it IS possible). I hope you find this episode permission-giving and liberating! P.S.

If you want to create BIG success in a leadership role, this week’s episode is for you. So many of my clients have a false belief that in order to succeed in a high-level leadership role, they need to 1) give up their values and be tougher on people, and 2) be more skilled at their job. I disagree. In fact, I think that who you are, right NOW, with your current values, personality, and imperfect skillset is MORE than enough for you to thrive as a leader. And in today’s episode, I’m determined to show you why that's true. You don’t need to become someone different to rise up and succeed professionally. You need to do the exact opposite and learn to be MORE of who you already are. Are you ready to start doing that? Tune in and I’ll show you how.

If you’ve ever felt consumed by feelings of unworthiness & self-doubt, today’s episode is for you. This episode is a vulnerable share where I’ll be telling you a story about how I learned to navigate debilitating self-doubt in my corporate career. This week I’m reading a personal essay I wrote about my struggle to answer this one very common job interview question: “So, tell me about yourself.” This question used to send me into a tailspin of panic, overwhelm, and insecurity. This week’s episode is all about how I learned to find genuine confidence and answer that question loudly and proudly despite having struggled with it so deeply. My hope is to make your heart feel a little lighter, and your confidence a little bit bigger after you listen to this. If you struggle to feel good about yourself, you’re definitely not alone
