In this episode of Loud & Lifted, host Betsy Hamm sits down with Jill Avey—leadership coach and founder of SisterSmart—to get real about the inner work required to rise in leadership. Jill specializes in helping high-potential women reach Director and VP-level roles, and her insights are both practical and transformative.

Together, they unpack:

• The invisible impact of limiting beliefs and internal saboteurs
• Why executive presence is often the missing link between where you are and where you want to go
• The busyness trap and the pressure to be “helpful, pleasing, and nice”
• How to build daily confidence through simple mindset shifts

Jill’s guidance is grounded, generous, and immediately actionable. If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself, felt stuck in a support role, or struggled to ask for what you want—this conversation is a must-listen.
