Jane is an inspiring and dynamic catalyst for change whose career, stories, humor and scathing honesty empower all to rethink what’s possible.

From rural Iowa to the c-suite of Microsoft, Jane Boulware defied expectations, overcame limitations and voices (often her own) that held her back and down.

Despite building and leading billion-dollar businesses, Jane struggled with imposter syndrome, addiction and feeling unworthy… until she learned it's okay to be afraid, okay not to know, okay to ask for help.

Once Jane redefined success 'from me to we', she put her spotlight on showing up, standing up and lifting up others. 

Jane's book, WORTHY, is honest, heart-breaking and funny, relatable and uplifting.  All proceeds from WORTHY go to Boys & Girls Clubs youth scholarships. 

---

What does it really take to move from a one-bedroom house in rural Iowa to the corner office at Microsoft?

In this powerful conversation, Jane Boulware, former Corporate Vice President at Microsoft and author of Unworthy, shares how she overcame imposter syndrome, dropped the “armor” she once wore to fit in, and found her true worth — not in achievements, but in authenticity.

Jane reveals how saying “yes” to opportunities that terrified her transformed her fear into resilience, and how building strong, supportive micro-cultures can lead to success even within rigid corporate environments.

Now “failing miserably at retirement,” as she jokes, Jane spends her time mentoring, speaking, and giving back — with all proceeds from her book going to scholarships for underserved youth through the Boys and Girls Club.

---

Key Takeaways:

• Fear isn’t the enemy — it’s proof you’re growing
• You don’t need to be fearless — just fear less
• Saying “yes” to uncomfortable opportunities builds resilience
• True worth isn’t earned — it’s already within you

In this powerful solo episode, I’m talking about two emotions that shape our lives every single day: fear and love. I open up about how fear can quietly influence our choices — showing up as stress, doubt, or anxiety — and why the goal isn’t to get rid of it. Instead, I share how we can recognize fear, hold space for it, and still move forward with clarity and intention.

I also dive into what happens when we shift into love and gratitude — how that energy changes everything. I’ll walk you through practical ways to cultivate positive energy, stay grounded, and open yourself up to new possibilities. Whether you’re moving through uncertainty or simply wanting to reconnect with yourself, this episode will speak to you.

🌟 Key Takeaways:
• How to spot fear in everyday emotions like overwhelm or worry
• Why love and gratitude help create real change
• Simple ways to shift your energy and feel more present
• How to stay open, even when life feels chaotic

What a Gift to Dive into Self-Connection!

In this conversation, I explore the importance of self-connection in a world filled with distractions and external pressures. I share my insights on how understanding ourselves and nurturing personal expression can help us navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and resilience.

I talk about the power of self-reflection—especially during difficult times—and how checking in with ourselves can reveal what truly matters. Feeling disconnected? I encourage you to consider the activities that bring you joy and fulfillment as a way to realign with your inner self.

I also share simple yet powerful shifts that can transform daily life, from adjusting conversations to creating uplifting environments. Prioritizing self-care isn’t just important—it’s necessary. When we recognize and embrace our individuality, we don’t just improve our own lives—we contribute more meaningfully to the world around us.
