August 19, 2025 You’re Not Too Much! Own Your Power and Thrive Unapologetically
How many times have you been told you’re too much—too loud, too passionate, too intense? It’s time to reclaim those labels and thrive unapologetically.
Today, we’re unraveling why so many women end up shrinking themselves to fit into roles or relationships that don’t serve them. From childhood messages about staying quiet to double standards in the workplace, to constantly second-guessing your decisions in order to please others—these are real challenges that powerful women face every day. It can be exhausting to dim your light just to make others comfortable, and it often means sacrificing your own happiness and growth.
But what if unapologetically showing up as yourself is exactly the power the world needs?
In this episode, I’ll share my personal journey with this struggle, break down those limiting beliefs, and outline concrete steps to own your space with confidence and thrive unapologetically.
You’ll come away equipped to stop apologizing for your intensity and start attracting the people who truly appreciate your energy and leadership. Embrace your true self and thrive unapologetically, setting an example for others to follow.

August 12, 2025 Playing Small Hurts Your Business and Your Community with Jenna Udenberg
Have you ever stopped to consider whose perspective is missing in conversations about accessibility? ADA compliance might check legal boxes—but what about the everyday experiences of people actually living with disabilities?
Today’s guest, Jenna Udenberg, is an accessibility educator, lifelong wheelchair user, former music teacher of 19 years, and author of Within My Spokes: A Tapestry of Pain, Growth, and Freedom. A Bush Fellow, columnist, and founder of Above and Beyond With U, Jenna brings a powerful voice, a sense of humor, and a lived perspective that challenges the status quo.
You’ll learn how to move beyond the checklist mindset of accessibility, why disability inclusion starts before the blueprint is drawn, and how vulnerability and curiosity can create real, human-centered change.
Whether you lead a business, design spaces, or simply want to do better—you’ll walk away with a new lens and practical ways to start.

July 29, 2025 Get Out of Your Own Way: From Solo Founder to Empowered CEO
Do you ever feel like your business would crumble if you took even a five-day break? Today, we're talking about the real struggle founders face when they want to grow but find themselves stuck micromanaging everything.
The main problem? Staying in “founder mode” traps you in every department—admin, sales, delivery—until you become the bottleneck that keeps your company from scaling. The challenges are clear: letting go of control, hiring great people but not letting them own their roles, and failing to set up systems and communication that free you to lead. I’m sharing my own experiences and the patterns I’ve seen coaching entrepreneurs through this tough shift.
In this episode, we’ll break down the differences between founder and CEO, highlight the steps you need to get your business out of your head and into team-ready processes, and talk about the habits that can finally set you free. By the end, you’ll know exactly what’s holding you back—and how to move forward.
