    Michelle Pollack | From Broadway to Bathroom Breakdowns

    What happens when executive leadership coaching for women meets the raw truth about climbing the wrong ladder? Michelle Pollack's journey from Broadway stages to network television executive suites looked like success from the outside—but inside, she was having panic attacks in bathroom stalls. Michelle breaks down why brilliant women keep achieving goals that leave them feeling empty, revealing the difference between performing our way up someone else's ladder versus building our own path. She shares the bathroom stall moment that changed everything when she overheard senior executives casually discussing missing their kids' spring breaks like it was just the cost of doing business. We explore how high achievers can stop leaving pieces of themselves behind with every promotion and why the masculine-energy hustle culture is burning out the very superpowers that make women extraordinary leaders. Angela Atelier founded The Gal Project to support ambitious women in becoming who they're destined to be—through transformational photography and resources that help women live boldly and authentically.
