You know that moment when life shifts beneath you—and you're forced to ask, “What now?” This episode is all about those moments, and the women who chose to rise, lead, and speak with intention through them.
Join me as I revisit three unforgettable conversations with women who are rewriting the rules of leadership:
Marla Corson traded corporate chaos for clarity, stepping away from a demanding role to build something of her own, on her terms.
Julie McManus opens up about losing a job she loved, the identity crisis that followed, and how choosing to say yesto the unknown led her to places she never imagined.
Tricia Brouk, award-winning director and speaker coach, shares why your voice always matters and how real influence starts at the kitchen table, not the keynote stage.
Whether you’re a seasoned leader or just starting to explore your next chapter, this episode will inspire you to reflect, step up, and use your voice with intention.
Plus, hear how belonging, empathy, and purpose can reshape how we show up—at home, at work, and in our communities.
