The scariest costume?
The leader you think you’re supposed to be. 🎭🔥

Always certain. Never emotional. Keep your distance. Make sure everyone knows who’s in charge.

I’m exhausted just typing that.

Sometimes feeling like an impostor comes from wearing a mask built from leadership training that hasn’t evolved to meet the humans on your team.
😩 You’re reciting the “right” words, following the old playbook, and wondering why none of it feels like you, or connects with them.

I believe we have to question what we’ve been taught. Especially when “that’s how it’s always been done” keeps us from listening, adapting, or admitting we got something wrong.

Teams deserve a leader who’s present, curious, and willing to grow alongside them, and leaders deserve to lead in a way they can actually stand behind.

So this Halloween, I’m all for burning the mask. 🔥
Keep the costume for the party.
Bring your humanity to the team.

Today’s agenda: shake things up, challenge the status quo, and kick today in the teeth. 👠🔥

I have questions for “the way we’ve always done it.”
Is it working? Who is it working for? And what could happen if we tried something different?
I’m willing to challenge a process, have the uncomfortable conversation, and admit when my own approach needs a serious rethink.
That’s part of leading, too.

I want to see more for the people doing the work than another day of following rules nobody remembers the reason for.
So today…
I’m bringing the energy, and backing it up with action.
Say the thing. Pitch the idea. Take the first step you’ve been putting off.

Who’s ready to shake things up with me? 💗

Give me a great pair of power heels, and I’m ready to stand tall and take on the room. 💗👠
But I know I’m only as good as the people around me…and I’m lucky to be surrounded by an incredible team.

People who challenge my thinking. Tell me what I need to hear. Lift me up when the day gets heavy. And, occasionally, help buckle a shoe. 😂

Building a strong team means investing in their confidence, trusting their ideas, and giving them room to lead.
As they get stronger, I get stronger. We learn from each other, push each other, and accomplish more together. I feel powerful knowing the people beside me have my back—and knowing they can count on me to have theirs.

The heels add a few inches.
My team helps me reach heights I couldn’t get to alone. 💗
Let’s chat about building relationships with your team that not only makes THEM stronger but lifts you up.

Text your ex or bring me to work with your team? Let’s make a good decision today. 😂💗

We’ve all been tempted to revisit something familiar, even when it stopped working a long time ago.
The same thing happens in leadership.
Old habits.
Avoided conversations.
“That’s how we’ve always done it.”

My focus is to help leaders and teams question those patterns, communicate more honestly, and build ways of working that actually fit the humans doing the work.Expect real conversations, a little discomfort, some laughter, and practical steps your team can put to use.

Ready to help your team communicate better, work smarter, and move forward with more clarity?
Book me for your next team session, leadership workshop, or event. Send me a message to start the conversation, and let’s create an experience your people will remember—and use.

Your team has a future worth investing in.
Your ex can wait. 😉

I’ve been called bold. Intense. A little too much.
I’m comfortable with that. 🔥

Because challenging the status quo takes a willingness to ask the uncomfortable question. To speak up when staying quiet would be easier. To lead in a way that feels true to you—even when it looks different from everyone else.
And yes, sometimes I’m scared. I can feel the heat and still choose to step forward.

That’s what I want more women to know: you don’t have to wait until you feel fearless to use your voice. Your perspective matters now.

So I’ll keep asking questions, shaking up old expectations, and making room for others to do the same.

Pink heels. Feet planted. Fire intact. 💗🔥

Well… that didn’t work. Now what? 👀

I can own a decision that missed the mark without making it a verdict on my ability to lead.

An idea can fall flat. A plan can need reworking.
Something I believed in can turn out to be the wrong fit. That’s my cue to get curious.
What did I miss?
What did I learn?
What needs to change?
Good leaders make room for those questions. We listen, take responsibility, and adjust—even when our ego would prefer we keep pushing the original plan.
I don’t have to stay committed to an approach just because I was the one who suggested it.
So I take the lesson, change direction, and bring my people along.

We pivot. And we keep going. 💗
Where are you giving yourself permission to change direction?

Sit down and update your resume….

WAIT. ✋

I’m not telling you to quit your job. 😂

I’m telling you to take a minute and remember just how far you’ve come. We’re so quick to move from one goal to the next that we rarely stop long enough to acknowledge what happened in between.

The projects you crushed.
The problems you solved.
The skills you learned.
The uncomfortable things you figured out.
The responsibilities you took on.
The goals that once felt HUGE… that are now just another line on your resume.

Sometimes we need to see our growth on paper to realize just how much of it has happened.
So update the resume. Add the accomplishments. Write down the wins. Give yourself credit for the things you’ve learned along the way.
And then ask yourself…

What’s next?
Not because you need a new job. Not because what you’re doing isn’t enough. But because growth deserves reflection—and reflection helps us decide where we want to grow next.
Pause. Look back. Be proud.
Then set a few new goals and get moving. 🔥

Here’s something leadership has taught me:
You won’t always get to control what happens. But you DO get to decide what happens next.

▪️By the time someone disengages enough to speak up, the damage is already done.

▪️Awareness has to come before performance conversations.

In those moments, people are watching less for the perfect answer and more for how you respond.
Do you react from frustration—or lead with intention?
Do you blame—or get curious?
Do you spiral—or figure out the next move?
I’ve gotten this wrong plenty of times. And I’ve learned A LOT from those moments.

Leadership isn’t about never being rattled. It’s about learning how to lead yourself first when you are.
Your reaction matters. Make it count. 💗

“Can I be petty for a minute?” 🤷🏻‍♀️

That was a message I got from someone on my team. We have a fantastic relationship, but apparently this is our version of someone walking into the boss’s office and saying “Can we talk?”
My manager brain immediately went: OHHH EFF.
What happened?

What followed was maybe a five-minute conversation. Something about her role wasn’t sitting right with her. She told me what she wanted to change and why. She advocated for herself. Confidently. Directly. Without knowing what my answer would be. And I listened. I asked questions. I stayed curious. We talked through it, found a resolution we both felt good about, and went back to work.

⏱️Five minutes. And it stuck with me because I know what the other version feels like. I’ve worked in larger, more traditional organizations where advocating for myself meant building a case, gathering evidence, and preparing to prove that I understood my own work and my own value. Only to essentially be told: No. Because I’m the boss and I know better.

After enough of those conversations, people stop having them. And I think that’s how leaders lose good people long before those people actually leave.
I talk a lot about leading differently. To me, part of that is refusing to confuse authority with being right. I won’t always agree. The answer won’t always be yes. But I never want someone who works with me to believe they shouldn’t bother asking!!

I’d rather have the five-minute uncomfortable conversation…
Than find out what someone needed in their exit interview.
