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.

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.

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.

Women are constantly told to calm down, take a breath, and manage their emotions. But what if this approach is actually limiting your leadership potential?

This week, I'm exploring the difference between emotional suppression and true emotional resiliency, and why having the full range of emotional expression is critical for ambitious women who want to lead powerfully.

Tune in today to discover why your anger matters, how to express difficult emotions without becoming a bulldozer, and what happens when you finally give yourself permission to use all four emotional directions.

Your 2-year-old claps after drinking from a cup. Your 4-year-old dances after tying her shoes. They brag without permission. But somewhere between childhood and adulthood, you learned that pride equals arrogance, that humility means shrinking, and that you need permission to feel worthy.

The result? You're waiting for proof, performing for approval, and wondering why confidence feels so elusive when you've accomplished so much.

This episode explores a specific ritual and mindset shift that rewires how you see yourself - not through more achievements or external validation, but through the radical act of self-acknowledgment. This isn't about ego or being better than others. It's about genuinely liking yourself, valuing who you are beyond what you produce, and carrying yourself with the quiet confidence of someone who knows their worth.

You finally reach senior leadership, but the room feels different than you imagined. You're interrupted mid-sentence, told to smile more during conflict, labeled as too intense when you hold people accountable.

The shock isn't that these things happen. It’s that they happen at the top, in rooms where you thought respect would be a given.

Tune in this week as I break down what women aren't told about power at the top. You’ll learn specific tools for navigating dysfunctional cultures, understanding when feedback is about their discomfort versus your performance, and knowing when it's time to walk—but from clarity, not exhaustion.

What if the voice in your head saying you're not good enough when making high-stakes decisions isn't the truth, but rather a symptom of something nearly every high-achieving woman faces?

Sarah Boone, National Director of Project Management at Devereux, discovered this firsthand when she transitioned from a state-based center to corporate headquarters, suddenly finding herself in meetings with C-suite executives and making decisions that affected the entire organization.

Tune in this week as I sit down with Sarah to unpack what imposter syndrome really sounds like in the moment and how it shows up differently than most people expect.

The gap between knowing what to say and actually saying it in high-stakes conversations isn't about lacking confidence or needing more preparation.

Today's episode is for every woman who's ever found herself in a high-stake moment, sitting across from senior leaders, preparing for a tough conversation, or making a call that could shift her career and wonders, “Is this my truth or my fear speaking?”

I’m joined this week by my client and Results-Oriented Chief Financial Officer, Rita Kale. After working across multiple continents and scaling numerous businesses, she's learned that success in crucial conversations comes down to recognizing which inner voice deserves your attention.
