Paxton joins  coach Stephanie on the podcast to talk about leadership and a lesson called “Being a Lighthouse.” Paxton explains that the lesson helped her stay true to herself instead of changing for others. Together, they break down the three lighthouse rules: stand firm in storms (don’t beg for attention), shine when no one’s watching (integrity and self‑confidence), and don’t chase lost ships (don’t chase people who don’t value you). Paxton shares examples from softball, home, and school, showing how she applies these ideas in real life. The episode ends with her key message: stay true to who you are and love yourself first.
