    Ep 7: Why I Stopped Blaming Corporate Culture (And What I Did Instead)

    For years I believed corporate culture was broken -- something outside of me that I had zero power over. In this episode I'm sharing the story of how I went from a burnt out Director of Operations to a VP running weekly anti-burnout seminars for her entire leadership team, including the CEO and CFO. This one shift in perspective changed everything. If you've ever felt stuck inside a corporate environment that doesn't seem built for you, this episode is going to hit different. Ready to be part of the cultural shift? The Thrive Women Book Club kicks off March 18th and we have limited Founder spots remaining.

    Ep 5: When Life Is Life-ing: Healing, Boundaries, and Leading with Heart

    Life has been life-ing -- and this week required some serious healing. Sometimes the healing work looks like leadership. Sometimes it looks like crying in the garden, saying no to social media, or sitting in silence with your hand on your heart.

    Ep 4: She Was the Good Girl. Now She's the Burnt Out Boss. Let's Talk About That

    A lot of burnout starts with being the "good girl." Say yes. Be nice. Don't rock the boat. Keep proving your worth.
