If you've ever felt envy or resentment toward another woman in your workplace, you are among MANY. And, if you beat yourself up about it, thinking you should be supporting other women, I want you to know that it's not your fault. 

There is a global and lively conversation about equity between men and women, races, and sexual identity, but no one is talking about equity between women.

In this conversation, we dive into ways workplaces, even those with good intentions, inadvertently cause a divide between women, and what women really want in workplaces. 

We uncover ways society reinforces inequality - not just gender inequality, but also inequality between women. What ends up happening is, that instead of women standing together, they feel jealous of each other.

Our conversation is sure to turn your women's equality paradigms upside-down. At the end, we'll suggest some actions that will incite real change in women's equity.

This episode was first published on the Awakening Worth podcast with Sheri Johnson, my sister, with me as a guest on International Women's Day. I'm re-publishing it here because the issues we talk about are so rampant in the business world (and not just corporate workplaces), and it's time we create a movement to shift the paradigm.

You're a high-achieving woman, and you always want to get better. But you're frustrated with one area - like your ability to influence, or your communication. You think it's your capabilities...but it's not. 

It's something much deeper.

In this episode, I'm sharing real-life stories from three recent coaching sessions with high-achieving women—to show you how many of us seem to be facing very different capabilities challenges, and they are all rooted in similar subconscious patterns. 

If you keep trying to improve in an area of your leadership and feel stuck, this episode will help you shift:

• Why strategy alone can’t solve what’s rooted in old emotional conditioning
• How early experiences (like being punished for “not being perfect”) shape the way women show up in leadership
• The real reason so many women still silence themselves, even when they know better
• How the coaching approach can help you move from overthinking to clarity, from self-doubt to calm action
• What it looks like to truly unbind from patterns that no longer serve you

From an executive who struggled to influence in the boardroom, to a business owner who kept second-guessing her every sales move, to a woman healing from a toxic relationship whose body was still holding the emotional weight—I reveal how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and silence are often survival strategies we’ve carried from childhood.

This episode shines a light on the kind of work that goes far deeper than surface-level strategy. It's time to unbind from guilt, fear, and emotional over-responsibility—so you can lead, speak, and live from a place of grounded self-trust.

Whether you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or woman navigating burnout and big decisions, this episode will resonate deeply.

Most boundary advice misses the mark. Here’s what no one’s telling you.

If you’ve ever thought, “I just need to know what to say to set a boundary”—you’re not alone.

But that belief? It’s actually keeping you stuck in burnout.

In this honest and eye-opening conversation, I joined my sister Sheri on her podcast to talk about the real reason high-achieving women struggle to set and hold boundaries, even when they know they should.

Spoiler alert: it’s not about finding the perfect script.
 It’s about what happens after you say “no.”

We dive into:

• The emotional undercurrent that sabotages your best intentions
• The overlooked boundaries that matter even more than saying “no”
• How guilt, fear, and over-responsibility keep women overextended
• And how strong boundaries make you a better leader, not a selfish one

You’ll walk away with 5 powerful steps to start setting boundaries from a place of wholeness—without guilt, apology, or emotional aftermath.

✨ If you’re tired of being the one everyone leans on…
 ✨ If you're spinning with resentment or stuck in overcommitment…
 ✨ If you crave peace, time, and space for what really matters...

This episode will help you reclaim it.

🎧 Tune in now and start honouring your limits without losing yourself.

Nobody is talking about this in the leadership industry. 

There's a secret emotion running in the background that affects how you feel, lead and live. This feeling can make you feel like a fraud in your role, stay quiet in the boardroom, make you work harder, and burn you out.  

When you don't have it, you show up with fear, play small, feel unworthy. When you have it, you lead with ease and grace.

That feeling is BELONGING. 

Every human being craves it. And, every human being has felt excluded at some point in their lives. 

In this episode, my sister Sheri and I dig into why every human being wants to belong, where the feeling of exclusion comes from, and how to cultivate a feeling of belonging - no matter what situation you're in or who you're with.

We also talk about how this feeling of not belonging affects the way you lead and how you are perceived at work, in your business, and in life. 

You'll learn the signs that you're feeling a sense of exclusion and how to cultivate belonging - even when you feel like you're not part of the club.

In this last summer series short episode, I'm sharing the biggest mistake I made when I was crazy busy and couldn't get to the strategic work I really wanted to do.

It's also the biggest mistake I see in women who are trying to get to the important work their really paid to do, but can't because they're stuck meeting deadlines, delivering results and in unproductive meetings all day.

This paradigm is so ingrained in our psyches from society and workplaces everywhere, that it is almost impossible to go against it. 

But, I've figured it out and I've helped other women do it too. They've reduced their hours from 12+ hr days to 8hr days, AND improved their communication, conflict management, and strategic ability.

It's the 6th action from the 7-point leadership blueprint that will get you recognized as an influential leader, so you get the leadership role you want without sacrificing everything.

Cheers to you leading with grace.

This episode is for women who are so busy they can't even remember what they did all day, and want to get some control.

I get so frustrated when people say that to be less busy, "you need to set boundaries".

Some people don't even know what that means. And if they do, they have trouble doing it. So the advice isn't helpful.

In this episode, I'm sharing what it means to set boundaries, but more importantly, the key ingredient the advice is missing. That ingredient is WHY so many people have trouble HONOURING the boundaries they set, and how to start doing it.

When you know your boundaries, set them AND honour them without feeling bad, THEN you get control of your day, get to the important work and get promoted without so much stress.

Listen in if you want to know more.


Don't forget to tell me if this was helpful, and if it was, share it with a colleague.

It's tempting to think that it's a good thing to hold lots of meetings and get a lot of opinions about a big decision you need to make - but the opposite is true. When it comes to decision-making at a leadership level, it's not always about getting consensus.

Senior leaders and executives are constantly making decisions. If you can't show that you can quickly and decisively make choices, your career will come to a screeching halt. And stay with me, because you might think you're a good decision-maker while you're really not. 

In this episode I share some ways to check if this is a blindspot for you, and what to do to change your decision-making approach.

Ever feel like you're accomplishing so much but your leadership team isn't noticing? In this episode of the summer series, I'm sharing one of the secrets to getting the big promotion - embracing conflict and controversy.

You probably know that staying composed in a conflict situation is what many admired leaders do. And you also might know that leaders also share ideas that are bold, unique and sometimes controversial.

If you're like me, you might find it hard to speak up when your opinion is different or to embrace conflict. I used to try to push myself to say what I really wanted to say. Trying to force myself never worked.

In this episode, I explain why it's so hard to approach conflict and controversy so you can start doing it with ease, show your leadership team how influential you are, and get that big role you want.

Are you great at running meetings and speaking up in some situations but not when there are executives in the room? 

In this short summer series episode, I give you 3 simple steps to OWN any boardroom you are in. I share my story of how I rocked it in some meetings, but in meetings with executives, I got quiet and intimidated.

I wish I'd known earlier the simple steps it would take to get respect and admiration by speaking my voice in any situation. Once I took these steps and shifted the subconscious patterns that were stopping me from speaking my truth in the boardroom, I got respect so I was treated like I BELONGED there. In every meeting.

If you've tried everything and still feel like an imposter at the leadership table, and are ready to own your voice and the boardroom, send me a message with the word "accelerator" and we'll set up an Accelerator Call to fast-track your climb to the executive team.
