So many leaders are burned out—checking all the boxes, meeting expectations, and still feeling stuck. Pallavi Jain wants to change that. As a seasoned HR executive and the creator of the Lead From Within program, she helps people step out of survival mode and reconnect with who they truly are—and how they want to lead and be known.

In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula Edgar sits down with Pallavi to explore why personal branding starts with self-leadership. They trace Pallavi’s path from engineer to HR leader and unpack how her lived experiences—and inner transformation—shaped both her leadership philosophy and personal brand.

Pallavi shares her signature ATM Framework—a practical, powerful approach to building presence, taking responsibility, and making intentional choices. They also explore how identity, memory, and even generational trauma can shape—or distort—how we show up in the world.

This isn’t a conversation about polished personas or performative leadership. It’s about doing the real, internal work to build an authentic, resilient brand—rooted in clarity, alignment, and joy.

5:37 – The influence of Pallavi’s upbringing on her brand and her career path from engineering to HR leadership

8:30 – What led to the creation of Pallavi’s Lead From Within program and ATM framework

10:17 – Pallavi’s tips for building your personal branding with authenticity and the impact of lived experiences on your brand 

17:33 – The premise of Pallavi’s program and framework, and how they help strengthen personal growth and empowerment

21:03 – The three steps of the ATM framework and the benefit of consistently implementing it 

29:20 – Common mistakes from not leading from within that lead to burnout and ineffectiveness

36:18 – How traumatic memories can impact your perception and those of generations to follow

40:20 – Why organizations should incorporate the ATM framework

45:18 - A breakthrough Pallavi achieved from using her framework and how to start tapping into the power within you

49:15 – What Pallavi will never do to compromise her personal brand and the magic she brings to a standing-room-only

Heidi Friedman has built a powerful career over the past 30 years as a partner at Thompson Hine, where she leads in environmental law and co-chairs the firm’s ESG practice. But behind the legal accolades and leadership success was a different kind of ambition—finding real, lasting love.

In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula sits down with Heidi to talk about her most personal project yet: her debut book, Love Lessons: 104 Dates and the Stories That Led Me to True Love. What started as a self-exploration turned into a decade-long journey filled with dating apps, therapist couches, personal growth, and one eventual "yes" that made it all worth it.

Together, Paula and Heidi explore how building a personal brand applies to both professional success and finding a life partner. They get real about dating after divorce, setting boundaries, therapy, vulnerability, and how authenticity and timing matter just as much in love as they do in leadership. Plus—yes—they dive into dating profile branding tips (because, of course!).

1:12 – Heidi defines personal branding, describes herself, offers two favorite quotes, and reveals the song that energizes her
5:31 – Heidi’s upbringing, educational background, and career at Thompson Hine
9:00 – How Heidi built the ESG practice at Thompson Hine and established a consistent brand around an ever-changing topic

18:58 – Key lessons Heidi learned about love (and relationships overall) from her research
26:55 – What Heidi learned about herself in the process of going on 104 dates over 9+ years

29:30 – The importance of authenticity in dating profiles (and the weird date that Heidi remembers most vividly)

32:55 – Paula’s best practices and rules for dating and online profiles

37:59 – How Heidi knew that her husband Will was “the one” and how fortuitous opportunities can come even amid bad circumstances
46:39 – Advice for single/divorced people in or approaching midlife who are looking for love
52:19 – What Heidi likes to do for fun, won’t compromise on, and provides for others as part of her magic

In this solo episode, I’m diving into something that’s been weighing heavily on my heart—the changing brand of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and what that means for all of us right now. As someone who lives at the intersection of branding and the law, I’ve been watching closely as DEI has been politicized, rebranded, and in some cases, erased.

I break down what’s really happening beneath the surface, why the work still matters even if the terminology shifts, and how we can—and must—stay rooted in our values. This is not just a professional conversation; it’s personal. I’m sharing my reflections, my frustrations, and most importantly, my call to action.

This episode is for anyone who cares about equity, leadership, and integrity—and who refuses to let fear or politics dictate how they show up in the world. We need to keep showing up, keep saying the words, and keep doing the work.

The responsibility is still real. And silence isn’t a strategy.

1:30 – What the targeted attack on diversity, equity, and inclusion is really about
2:49 – The disturbing and dangerous narrative shift that’s occurred (despite the proven benefits of DEI)
4:03 – How the scope of DEI has been intentionally narrowed and what worries me most about the current public discourse
5:16 – A counter-narrative to reclaim the truth of what diversity, equity, and inclusion is
6:32 – A few questions to reflect on (as an individual or organization)

We’re living in a time when diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts are under fire—from boycott threats against inclusive brands to coordinated campaigns aimed at dismantling DEI in government, corporate, and educational spaces. As organizations face pressure to retreat, some are rolling back the very initiatives designed to create belonging and equity at work.

But retreat isn’t an option for those of us committed to inclusion, belonging, and values-based leadership.

With April being Celebrate Diversity Month, this felt like the right time to talk about what’s happening, and what we can do to keep creating supportive, thriving environments despite the pushback. This moment calls for clarity, courage, and leadership rooted in values—not just acronyms. So I’ve invited my friend, fellow speaker, and inclusion expert Michelle Silverthorn for a conversation that’s both timely and necessary. She shares insight into the work she does and how she empowers employees and leaders to build inclusive cultures where people can truly thrive.

In this episode of Branding Room Only, Michelle and I explore the role of belonging in workplace culture, today and in the future. We dig into what’s really driving the backlash to DEI, why inclusion still matters, how to navigate the challenges inside your organization, and what it looks like to show up authentically in a world that often discourages it. 

2:09 – Michelle’s definition of personal branding, how she describes herself in three phrases, plus her favorite quote and hype songs

7:40 – Her upbringing, education, and the core belief at 17 that shaped her deep connection to hope

12:15 – The legal industry experiences that sparked her focus on inclusion and led to launching her company

17:11 – What can happen when people can’t be authentic at work—and why authenticity is key to thriving

26:48 – The internal and external barriers to belonging and authenticity in the workplace

29:00 – The current state of DEI and how to navigate today’s shifting landscape

35:45 – What to do if your company is rolling back DEI, but you’re still committed to the work

38:24 – The authentic business case for DEI and the opportunity to show leadership right now

45:07 – How Michelle sees the future of workplace culture, and the role of affinity groups in creating belonging

50:27 – What Michelle does for fun, why she’ll never compromise on civility, and the power of storytelling in her brand

Have you ever felt like parts of your identity are misunderstood or minimized? When it comes to personal branding, the impact of intersecting identities on how we’re perceived in our careers is often overlooked.

In this episode of Branding Room Only, I break down the difference between intersecting identities and intersectionality, challenge the reality of limited perceptions, and explore the struggle of balancing authenticity with code-switching. Plus, I share actionable strategies to help you own your authentic personal brand fully in every space.
