  • 102. How to Be Heard: Why Brilliant Women Go Quiet in High-Stakes Rooms
    Sep 30 2026

    You can be completely confident in your expertise and still walk into one room and feel like you lose access to the woman you were five minutes earlier. You know what you think. You know what needs to happen. But when the stakes are higher and the power dynamics shift, you may find yourself explaining more, softening your position, or leaving the conversation wondering why you didn’t just say what you wanted to say.

    In this episode, I share why brilliant women often struggle to be heard in high-stakes rooms, and why the issue is not a lack of confidence. I break down what happens to women under pressure, including the ways we protect ourselves through patterns like shrinking, pleasing, fixing, over-controlling, or managing other people’s perceptions. You’ll learn how to recognize these patterns, reconnect with your authority, and practice the Command states that allow you to show up with grounded power and presence.

  • 103. Most Women Leaders Are Focused on the Wrong Thing: How to Track Your Growth & Build Self-Trust
    Oct 7 2026

    Women leaders are often excellent at noticing what still needs to change, but struggle to recognize what has already changed. In this episode, I share why tracking your growth is one of the most important leadership practices you can build. Instead of only analyzing your mistakes, shortcomings, and what needs to improve, you’ll learn how to study your wins, your challenges, and your experiences as data that helps you understand yourself and build self-trust.

    Tune in this week to learn how to stop arguing with your own growth, collect evidence of the leader you’re becoming, and build the self-trust that comes from knowing yourself more deeply.

    FREE LEADERSHIP BRIEF: How to Stop Getting Talked Over in High-Stakes Meetings (Even If You’re the Only Woman in the Room)

    You said something valuable… and no one acknowledged it. Then someone else repeated it—and suddenly it landed. These aren’t obvious mistakes. They’re small communication patterns that quietly decide how seriously you’re taken before your ideas are even heard.

  • 101. Assertive Authentic Communication: How to Say What You Mean Without Losing Connection
    Sep 23 2026

    Authentic communication isn’t about saying whatever comes naturally. It’s about aligning what you say externally with what you truly think, feel, want, value, and choose internally. Sometimes what feels “natural” is simply a communication pattern you’ve practiced for years, not what is actually most aligned with who you are.

    In this episode, I walk you through the difference between passive, aggressive, and assertive communication, and why the goal isn’t to choose between clarity and connection. You'll learn how to recognize wishy-washy communication, stop making people guess what you mean, and practice the four steps of assertive authentic communication: align, express, connect, and hold.

  • 100. The Anger Advantage: Why High-Achieving Women Need to Stop Avoiding Anger
    Sep 16 2026

    What if the emotion you’ve been taught to control, hide, or get rid of could actually become one of your greatest leadership advantages?

    In this episode, I share why anger is one of the most misunderstood emotions in leadership and why so many high-achieving women struggle to stay present with it, whether it’s their own anger or someone else’s. This is crucial to your career because as your leadership grows, your ability to hold difficult emotions without immediately reacting, fixing, or shrinking back becomes a key part of your emotional capacity.

    Tune in this week to learn why avoiding anger can limit your leadership, how your relationship with other people’s emotions impacts your ability to lead, and how building emotional capacity allows you to stay connected to yourself while navigating high-stakes moments.

  • 99. From Leading Global IRONMAN Events to COMMANDing Her Next Level with Katie Svenson
    Sep 9 2026

    What happens when your identity expands beyond your title?

    In this episode, I’m joined by COMMAND member Katie Svenson, a global events expert with nearly two decades of experience working on major sporting events, from IRONMAN to FIFA. Katie shares her journey of expanding beyond the identity of being an Ironman employee, trusting herself through major life transitions, and stepping into a bigger vision for both her career and her life.

    Together, we explore the identity expansion that happens when you stop looking outside yourself for permission and begin seeing yourself as the leader you already are. Katie shares how her experience inside COMMAND helped her strengthen self-trust, recognize her own authority, embrace discernment, and make decisions that align with the life she truly wants.
