“Just be you!” That’s what they all say. But it hasn’t always been safe or smart for high performing women - at school, at work, at church, at the PTA or even that exclusive networking event. Holding back kills your authenticity, and limits your impact. Just because we live in a world that is more friendly to strong, female leaders, that doesn't mean you feel "safe" being you. That's why it's imperative to know you, how you fit (or don’t) into the greater expectations of society, and understand that cookie-cutter leadership solutions will never be the answer. Each solution is as unique as the leader it is for.
This podcast was created for high performing female leaders who are ready to make an impact by discovering the safety that comes from understanding their own value and exercising their authority. It’s time to truly “be you,” to Stand Tall & Own It.

Permission Granted: What's Your Next Move?
If there was one thing I would tell my 25 year old self, it would be “Andrea, you have permission to make your own choices and decisions… Basically, to think for yourself.”
In this week’s episode, we walk through the deceptively simple concept of how to give yourself permission - in any area. How many times have you said (this week) “I can’t?” Well, what if you actually could?
Permission granted.
Now what?

Customer Reviews
Great podcast!
Being respected as a leader isn't about a list of attributes, it's about being true to who you are, especially embracing the ways you are unconventional. I was honored to join this conversation with Andrea about the authenticity and vulnerability it takes to truly lead and inspire--breaking the mold of what many expect. This energetic conversation had too many highlights to name. Definitely tune into this podcast with a notebook in hand and find your own gems.
Fun, insightful & easy to listen to
I found this podcast when I was invited as a guest and I’ve been hooked ever since! Great interviews and great outlook on life.
Positivity = Success
We all need this podcast for our life! I listened to the episode on the importance of having a coach and it couldn’t be more true. Love the short solo episodes and longer interview episodes that I can listen to when time allows.
