The You Can Call Me “Bossy” Podcast is designed to support high-achieving, high-performance women navigate the label “bossy” and all the responsibility, stigma, growth, and power that comes along with it. As a fellow high-achiever, high-performer and “bossy” lady, I have had to navigate the waters of this label since I was a little girl. The shame, pressure, misunderstanding, and fear associated with this label has dictated a lot of the choices and actions I’ve taken in my life, as well as for the women I am honored enough to coach. What I have struggled with most is the inner conflict to “be myself” and go after my dreams and goals and stand in my leadership while also being told that I was too much, too loud, too demanding, too structured. When these are the traits that are being denounced, and yet they are also the traits that others celebrate as my super powers, how do we as women reconcile that? How do we STAND IN OUR POWER AND LEADERSHIP while also making everyone else happy and comfortable? That’s what the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” podcast will aim to answer, and so much more!

    EP 302: Quick Hit: What’s the Real Challenge? Coaching Questions That Drive Results

    Grab the GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY Prompt Vault HERE Welcome to the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! In this quick hit episode I dive into the power of effective coaching and leadership, inspired by the widely recommended book, "The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever." This conversation focuses on using question based coaching to unlock clarity, drive results, and simplify challenges whether working in corporate, leading a business, or selling ideas.  It is all about asking the right questions, like uncovering the real challenge beneath the surface, understanding what commitments require sacrifice, and digging deeper with "what else?" These coaching tools aren’t just for one on one sessions, but are essential for leadership, sales calls, proposals, and team management. Get ready to rethink how you approach problems and empower others to discover their own solutions. Key Takeaways: Ask better questions to get real results. Shift from surface level issues to discovering the real challenge someone is facing by asking, “What’s the real challenge here for you?”  Understand the power of choice. Every “yes” is also a “no,” so ask, “If you’re saying yes to this, what are you saying no to?”  Dig deeper for real clarity. Don’t stop at the first answer and follow up with “And what else?” This simple question can peel back layers and reveal the true root of the problem, leading to breakthrough moments.

    Welcome to another EFT Tapping Session on the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! In this replay EFT the conversation is focused on elevating your wealth vibration through a targeted EFT tapping session. One concept discussed was the importance of releasing doubts, old limiting beliefs, and resistance to abundance in order to embrace prosperity. A key theme is recognizing prosperity as a birthright and cultivating a harmonious, thriving vibration to attract financial success. I raise several points, including the value of letting go of low vibration thoughts and embracing the natural state of abundance and wealth.

Kristen sits down with us to dive deep into the realities of being both a CEO and a mom. The conversation covers everything from the evolution of Kristen’s business, supporting moms through the turbulent postpartum period, and the critical importance of building a village of support.

Tune in for honest stories, practical advice, and empowering encouragement to ask for what you need, own your bossiness, and set yourself up to thrive.

    EP 299: Quick Hit: Why Self Trust is the Secret Sauce for Success in Life and Work

    Grab the GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY Prompt Vault HERE Welcome to the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! In this quick hit episode I deliver a motivational boost, centering on the powerful idea of being “sold” on yourself. Selling isn’t just about products, it's about enrolling others in your vision, whether that’s at work, with friends, or in your personal development journey. You’ll hear why self belief is the foundation of authentic sales, the importance of showing up 100% in everything you do, and how leveling up starts with raising your own bar. If you’re ready to tap into infectious confidence and take your ambitions to the next level, this episode is for you! Key Takeaways: Whether you’re pitching a new project at work, wrangling friends into a group vacation, or advocating for company culture, you’re constantly “selling” your ideas, vision, or even the next best dinner spot. The outcome is never 100% in your hands, but you can control how you show up.  Being sold on yourself is a skill. It’s natural for self confidence to fluctuate. Notice when you’re not bringing your best, and see it as your personal work to decide what your new 100% looks like.

    EP 297: Quick Hit: Are You Sending Mixed Signals to the Universe About Your Goals

    Grab the GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY Prompt Vault HERE Welcome to the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! In this quick hit episode I focused on the importance of setting boundaries in business and aligning your actions with your desires. A key theme that came up in this conversation was the challenge of asking for what you want from the universe, and then standing firm when opportunities arise to prove you really mean it. I go into real life coaching scenarios involving client relationships, payment up front, and the need for clear, kind communication. Listeners are invited to reflect on how to create and maintain boundaries, stay true to their goals, and respond when faced with uncomfortable but necessary choices that support their growth. Key Takeaways: Your boundaries signal your commitment: If you want clients who respect your time and expertise, you have to set and enforce clear expectations otherwise, you may keep attracting the same challenges. The universe responds not only to what you say you want, but how you behave. If your actions don’t align with what you claim to desire, you’ll likely keep getting more of the same. Setting boundaries may mean losing a client in the short term, but it’s essential to stand your ground if you want to create lasting change and respectful business relationships.  If you enjoyed this episode and are excited for more, please be sure to SUBSCRIBE and write a review to help build momentum and support the show (5-stars would be AWESOME!) _____________________________________________ JOIN US IN - THE CLUB - An annual membership where high-achieving women come together to unapologetically OWN THEIR “BOSSY” in order to rise to the top, make a massive impact, and not burn out while doing it.
