Leading Yourself

“Every time you dim your authentic expression to avoid being a disruption to others, you instead become a disruption to your own alignment — and nothing is more painful than that in the long term.”

Today we’re doing something a little different in this episode. Instead of focusing on doing more, pushing harder, or adding new goals to your plate — we’re flipping the script.

Today, we’re talking about letting go.

Because sometimes, growth doesn’t come from piling more on. It comes from releasing what’s no longer serving you. Clearing the mental clutter. Softening the grip. Making space.

So in this episode, I’m walking you through 10 powerful things you may need to let go of—to create space for clarity, confidence, and peace.

Let’s dive in.

Let’s keep leading ourselves—together. 💛

Today’s episode is all about something we all want more of—but often forget to prioritize: joy.

We’re kicking off what I’m calling Joyful June—an intentional invitation to stop postponing joy, and instead choose it on purpose.

This month, I’m setting five personal intentions around joy—and I’ll be sharing them with you. I’ll also walk you through a few micro-goals to bring joy into your daily life, and—because you know I love a good challenge—I’ve created a simple Joy Challenge you can join in on this month.

So grab your coffee, or lace up your shoes if you’re out walking, and let’s dive into the joy of being alive—right here, right now.

Today’s episode is a bit of a reframe.

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Get 1% better every day.” I’ve said it. I’ve believed it. I still do in many ways.

But lately, I’ve been thinking… what if instead of trying to get better at everything, we tried getting 1% more curious?

Not just about our goals, but about ourselves. Our thoughts. Our patterns. Our choices. Our joy.

Because in my own life, curiosity has been one of the most powerful forces for growth. And today, I want to invite you into that shift.

“You deserve to take up space. The world needs you exactly as you are—with your gifts and your imperfections.”

What happens when you hit the goals, earn the title, and check every box… and still feel like something’s missing? In this episode of Leading Yourself, I share the personal journey that led me to question the definition of success I had followed for years—and what it looked like to start rewriting it on my own terms. We’ll talk about the difference between achievement and alignment, the uncomfortable “in-between” season, and how to start designing a life and career that actually feels like yours. Whether you’re feeling burnt out, restless, or just ready for more meaning—this episode is your invitation to reflect, realign, and redefine what success truly means for you.

“Life’s uncertainty isn’t a void to be filled, but a space for growth, learning, and discovery.”

If you’ve been feeling a little stuck lately... a little disconnected from your energy, your motivation, or your joy—this episode is for you.

This month, my word is Reignite. And it’s been speaking to me on so many levels—my routines, my relationships, my creativity, and even how I see myself.

So today, I want to walk you through what it means to reignite your life, your career, your habits, your joy. We’re going to talk about:

• Why feeling "off" is more common than we think
• What reigniting actually looks like (hint: it's not about huge transformations)
• And five areas where you might be ready to light the flame again

Let’s get started!

“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”

Today’s episode is extra close to my heart. It’s Mother’s Day—and whether you’re celebrating with your family, remembering your own mother, or navigating this day with mixed emotions, I want to hold space for all of it.

As for me? I’m the proud mom of two incredible humans—one is 16, navigating teenagehood with curiosity and confidence, and the other is 8, still in that magical age where hugs are frequent and giggles come easy.

Being their mom has been the most transformational role of my life. More than any promotion, title, or accolade. It’s challenged me, stretched me, broken me open—and rebuilt me, wiser and more whole.

So today, I want to share 10 lessons motherhood has taught me—about love, identity, resilience, and what it truly means to grow.
