In this heartfelt episode of ConvHERsations with Kristie, Kristie Clayton welcomes coach, speaker, and facilitator Kim Boudreaux-Smith for a powerful conversation about owning your voice, silencing imposter syndrome, and showing up as your most authentic self.

Kim shares her deeply personal story of being told to "tone it down" as a young girl, navigating a male-dominated corporate world, and ultimately hitting a breaking point that forced her to reevaluate everything. Through her experiences, she now helps high-achieving women—and a few good men—find their bold voice, speak with confidence, and stop hiding behind inauthentic personas.

Together, Kim and Kristie explore the emotional toll of comparison, the pressure of external expectations, and the internal narratives that hold us back. They offer practical tools for self-awareness, self-talk, and reclaiming your power as a communicator and leader.

If you've ever struggled with feeling "not enough" or exhausted by trying to be who others expect you to be, this episode is a must-watch.
