    47. How to Handle an Angry Leader Without Losing Your Power
    Sep 10 2025

    A podcast listener recently wrote in asking for help with an angry leader who regularly storms into her office, blaming her for things and sharing his anger. She freezes, shuts down, and feels helpless.

    As a woman who's navigated male-dominated spaces and coached hundreds of women on this exact challenge, I know how threatening it can feel when you suddenly find yourself in leadership roles with other leaders who openly express their anger, especially if you haven't been around angry people in your workplace before.


    Tune in this week to learn a powerful reframe for understanding anger in leadership, plus 4 tactical tools to stop absorbing someone else's emotional storm.

    46. What to Do When Your Boss Undermines You
    Sep 3 2025

    Being undermined doesn't mean you're powerless. When your boss invites your entire team to town without telling you, or when decisions about your department get made behind closed doors, it creates more than frustration—it destabilizes your leadership.

    Join me this week, as I share real-life examples from my coaching practice and corporate experience to show you exactly how to reclaim your authority without creating drama. You'll learn a three-step framework for addressing undermining behavior and discover why self-empowerment matters more than waiting for the system to change.

    45. From Nice to Powerful: How to Lead with Authority in High-Stakes Rooms
    Aug 27 2025

    Power and niceness are not mutually exclusive, but in high-stakes leadership rooms, the order matters.

    In this episode, I break down the critical difference between being nice and being powerful. I explore how our cultural conditioning as women has taught us to prioritize likeability over leadership, creating a pattern where we apologize before speaking, defer decisions to others, and position ourselves as supporters rather than strategic allies.
