They tackle the uncomfortable reality of navigating leadership roles under the scrutiny of gendered expectations, discussing everything from the need to add smiley faces in emails to soften their tone, to the challenges of giving constructive feedback without being labeled as harsh.

Throughout the episode, they open the floor to listener questions, sharing personal stories and practical advice on overcoming these challenges. With a blend of humor, honesty, and wisdom, Jaclyn and Marina explore how female leaders can redefine the narrative, asserting their authority while maintaining authenticity.
