Ladies, this one is powerful. I’m sitting down with Dr. Amy Grimm—veterinarian, certified life coach, and founder of Daring DVM Coaching—to talk burnout, nervous system healing, and what success really looks like.

Back in the 1960s, only 5% of vets were women. Now it’s 70%—but leadership still hasn’t caught up. Amy shares what it’s like to rise in that world, lead with heart, and walk away when it no longer fits.

We talk about:
 ✨ Why high-achieving women go into overdrive—not collapse
 ✨ How nervous system work rewires how we show up
 ✨ Redefining success on your own terms
 ✨ The courage to disappoint others and trust your own path

And of course, she answers my signature question: What does it mean to be rooted in your confidence?

#RootedInYourConfidence #ConfidenceDisruption #ConfidenceAtWork #WomenInMaleDominatedIndustries #WomenInLeadership #WomenInTrades #WomenInConstruction #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalWomen #OrganizationalChange

In this raw and unfiltered solo episode, I’m opening up about something a lot of women in male-dominated industries wrestle with—but don’t always say out loud:

Do I stay, or do I build my own table?

After 25+ years in a field that’s only 8% women, I’ve got stories.
Like the time a grown man called my house—not my work line—because I gave a directive he didn’t like.

Why?

Because some people want us to feel so uncomfortable that we choose to leave.

But here’s the truth they don’t want you to know:

You have a choice.

You can stay. And staying doesn’t mean shrinking. It means standing in your voice and owning your seat.

⸻

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
•Real stories of harassment and power dynamics in male-led spaces
•Why discomfort is often the point—and how to respond
•The difference between leaving from fear vs. leaving from power
•How to turn exclusion into emotional resilience
•Why “build your own table” is not the only valid option
•What it means to self-ally and choose your seat intentionally

⸻

🎧 Want to hear what sparked this episode?

My conversation with Tiffany Sims challenged me deeply.
She believes building your own table is the way forward.
And while I respect that, this episode is my response.

And if you’re done questioning your worth, and ready to reclaim your power, book your Clarity Consult using the link in the show notes.

You don’t have to leave to be powerful. You can stay—and still shift the room.
Let’s stay rooted in our confidence.

#RootedInYourConfidence #ConfidenceDisruption #ConfidenceAtWork #WomenInMaleDominatedIndustries #WomenInLeadership #WomenInTrades #WomenInConstruction #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalWomen #OrganizationalChange

This conversation with Dr. Sweta Vikram explores how women navigate male-dominated spaces and the real impact on our well-being.

Sweta shares a powerful moment about asking for a raise and being told "your husband has a good job"—and how that experience taught her to advocate for herself. We discuss why women in these industries carry guilt around taking up space, how we're conditioned from childhood to stay silent, and why burnout isn't even the right word for what we experience.

This episode is about shifting from survival mode to thriving authentically in spaces that weren't built for us. We examine how doing inner work changes how we show up professionally, why representation matters when you're the only woman in the room, and how to respond instead of react when faced with discrimination.

The reality is this: those traits they label us as "bossy" or "too much"? Those are our superpowers. We're their kryptonite because those things that scare them about us are exactly what make us effective.

If you're ready to stop asking for permission to be yourself and own your space unapologetically, this conversation will resonate.

#RootedInYourConfidence #ConfidenceDisruption #ConfidenceAtWork #WomenInMaleDominatedIndustries #WomenInLeadership #WomenInTrades #WomenInConstruction #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalWomen #OrganizationalChange

Welcome back to Rooted in Your Confidence - the podcast where we have real, empowering conversations with women who are owning their space in male-dominated industries. 

Today's conversation is all about strength, resilience, and self-empowerment. I'm sitting down with Elicia Ybarra, martial arts self-defense instructor and founder of Pretty Hands Hard Punches, and let me tell you - her story is going to speak to your spirit.

Elicia's journey started as a 6-year-old obsessed with Ninja Turtles who knew exactly what she wanted: to own her own martial arts studio. But what she encountered along the way was discrimination, manipulation, and abuse disguised as "making her stronger." Her story shows us what happens when the world tries to put us in boxes - and what it takes to punch through them.

We talk about the power of self-defense beyond just physical protection, how to tap into your confidence when the world tries to shake it, and what it means to take up space unapologetically. This is a conversation about standing firm in who you are, because confidence isn't just about how others see you - it's about how you see yourself.

Elicia shares how she learned to set boundaries, recognize red flags, and create her "ideal version" of herself. Her mission to empower 1 million women through self-defense is about so much more than physical techniques - it's about helping women recognize they are worth defending.

If you've ever felt like you had to choose between being strong and being accepted, or if you've stayed in situations hoping they'd change, this conversation is for you. It's about building your own table when you're not welcome at theirs.

Connect with Elicia at @PrettyHandsHardPunches on all social media or visit www.prettyhandshardpunches.com

Remember, confidence isn't something you chase - it's already rooted within you. Keep showing up in your truth.

#RootedInYourConfidence #ConfidenceDisruption #ConfidenceAtWork #WomenInMaleDominatedIndustries #WomenInLeadership #WomenInTrades #WomenInConstruction #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalWomen #OrganizationalChange

In this episode of Rooted in Your Confidence, I sit down with Pamela Dale client expert, digital marketer, and creator of the Six Code Framework for a powerful and real conversation about what it takes to build a business that reflects who you truly are, not who you’ve been told to be.

Pamela shares her journey from burnout and undercharging to boldly owning her worth and guiding other women to do the same. We talk about:
What it means to walk into rooms you weren’t raised to believe you belonged in

The truth about burnout (hint: it’s not about being busy)

How women are conditioned to feel small and how to unlearn it

Why self-trust is the foundation of real confidence

Her Six Code Framework and why people come first starting with yourself

This is for the woman who’s been overlooked, underestimated, or told she’s “too much.” The one who’s been the only woman in the room and still showed up. The one who’s tired of playing small and ready to step into something greater.
Pamela’s story is your reminder: you are not behind. You are not broken. You are not alone.

#RootedInYourConfidence #ConfidenceDisruption #ConfidenceAtWork #WomenInMaleDominatedIndustries #WomenInLeadership #WomenInTrades #WomenInConstruction #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalWomen #OrganizationalChange

This conversation right here? It’s honest. It’s layered. And it’s bigger than opinions.

Tiffany Sims and I sat down to talk about what it really means to show up as a woman in male-dominated spaces. We didn’t agree on everything and that’s exactly why this episode matters.

Tiffany shared her story, and I respect that. But we have to be real: not every woman has the same access, the same options, or the same ability to just “build her own table.” Especially not Black women. Some of us are still fighting to even get in the room, let alone be heard.

So yes, I created this podcast to remind you that you’re not alone but also to tell the truth about what it takes. Having tools isn’t enough. You need guidance. You need context. You need to know how to use what you’ve got.

Your growth may not look like hers.
Your pace may be different.
But your power? It’s still yours.

That’s why Rooted in Your Confidence exists.
To tell the whole story loud, clear, and unapologetically ours.

Press play. You’ll feel seen.

#RootedInYourConfidence #ConfidenceDisruption #ConfidenceAtWork #WomenInMaleDominatedIndustries #WomenInLeadership #WomenInTrades #WomenInConstruction #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalWomen #OrganizationalChange

In this powerful episode of Rooted in Your Confidence, I sit down with Alyssa Hawn—intuitive energy healer, podcast producer, and former reality TV and publishing professional. Alyssa gets real about what it felt like to work in male-dominated industries, how the pressure to prove herself shaped her early career, and the emotional toll of constantly trying to be “enough.”

We talk about:

• Being overlooked and underestimated by male bosses
• When Alyssa finally said “enough” and chose herself
• The connection between self-worth, burnout, and ancestral belief systems
• What it looks like to unlearn the hustle and start trusting your own body

And sis—this one goes deep. Alyssa doesn’t hold back, and we both share what it means to finally stop shrinking and start standing tall in who you really are.

💬 If you’ve ever questioned your worth, held back your voice, or carried the weight of generational survival…this episode will speak to your soul.

🎧 Listen in and then ask yourself: What would shift in your life if you stopped proving and started trusting?

#RootedInYourConfidence #ConfidenceDisruption #ConfidenceAtWork #WomenInMaleDominatedIndustries #WomenInLeadership #WomenInTrades #WomenInConstruction #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalWomen #OrganizationalChange

In this episode of Rooted in Your Confidence, Samantha Kaye Harris is calling out the labels that have been used to shrink women in male-dominated industries: too aggressive, too emotional, too strong, too much.

She breaks down how these labels are not reflections of who we are — they’re projections of how uncomfortable others feel when we show up fully.

Samantha shares real-life experiences, including being called “too happy” at work and being accused of bullying simply for holding someone accountable. She opens up about the emotional and physical toll of silencing ourselves and how trauma lives in the body (The Body Keeps the Score). She also introduces her signature TRUTH framework to help you reclaim your power, use your voice, and hold your ground.

You’ll leave this episode with clarity, confidence, and a reminder that you were never too much  they just weren’t ready.

In this bold and timely episode of Rooted in Your Confidence, Samantha Kaye Harris calls out a truth we don’t talk about enough: men are often celebrated for entering industries that women built—while women are still fighting to belong in theirs.

From nail salons to fashion houses, men are positioned as pioneers in spaces where women have long been the foundation. Samantha shares a personal story that led her to ask: Why are men seen as extraordinary for doing work that women have mastered for decades? And why do women still have to prove themselves in male-dominated industries?

You’ll hear:

• The real story behind a simple nail appointment that sparked this conversation
• How praise, power, and ownership are unequally distributed—even in “female-led” industries
• Why your brag bag matters now more than ever
• A powerful reminder: You’re not just working—you’re building, leading, and already extraordinary
  
  

If you’ve ever felt overlooked or underestimated in your field, this episode will remind you that you’ve been powerful all along.

🎧 Listen now and share this episode with a woman who needs to hear the truth today.
