    Cautiously Capable: The Truth About Confidence & Credibility

    As we head into February we are talking about building on the foundations we set out in January with confidence and clarity. In this episode, we respond to a listener who is doing everything “right” on the outside- strong job, trusted by colleagues, encouraged to step into senior leadership, but internally feels like an imposter. They're ready for more, but fear keeps them stuck. We break down what confidence actually is, why credibility is built over time (not suddenly earned), and how to take the next step even when you don’t feel ready. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “waiting to be exposed,” this episode is for you.

    Prioritizing Purpose: Closing the Gap Between Intention & Impact

    A listener writing in after a major life milestone asks a powerful question: How do I truly understand my purpose-and make sure I’m actually living it out? In this episode, we unpack the tension many leaders feel between who they want to be and what their day-to-day leadership actually reflects. We explore how expectations from others can quietly reshape our decisions, and how to realign with purpose in a way that’s visible, sustainable, and authentic. If you’ve ever felt like you’re managing expectations instead of leading with intention, this episode will meet you right where you are.
