In this episode, I pull back the curtain on my time at iHeartMedia, which began with excitement, fun events, and the warmest work environment. But as the pandemic hit and priorities shifted, I was faced with a new reality and difficult decisions. I'll share how I transitioned into iHeart's first-ever Diversity & Inclusion role, only to find my passion met with resistance. This episode is about navigating times of change, fighting for your values, and finding the courage to walk away when a company is no longer aligned with your purpose.

Join me as I share 5 pivotal lessons from this role, including:

• The Power of People: Why warmth and community in the workplace matter more than ever.
• Self-Empowerment: How to advocate for yourself as a woman of color in a traditional corporate environment.
• Know When to Leave: The gift of knowing when to walk away from a job that no longer serves you.
• The Power of the Pivot: Why leaving corporate isn't a failure, but a bold step toward a more aligned path.
