104: 6 Powerful Truths I Tell Women in Leadership (and Myself)
Welcome to Episode 104 of the Your Next Move Podcast! In today's episode, I'm getting real with you. I'm sharing six powerful reminders that I constantly rotate for both myself and my clients especially when we find ourselves stuck, scared, or playing small. This is more of a truth-telling episode where I want to give you the advice that I give my clients. But especially recently, I've had some experiences where I realized I need to remind myself of these things too. In this episode, you'll hear: Why fear actually means "go" and not "stop," and how it's often the biggest thing standing between you and your goals How taking just one hour to plan your week can transform your productivity and mindset Why saying "no" when it's not a "hell yes" is crucial for your satisfaction and success The importance of using your voice even when it shakes Why rest isn't a reward for overworking but a power move and essential part of your plan The liberating truth that you don't have to prove your worth—you already belong I also share a recent experience where I faced serious imposter syndrome before a speaking engagement, and how I used these same reminders to pull myself back from spiraling. You'll get practical advice on: Recognizing when fear is causing you to choose "Plan B" when you really want "Plan A" Setting yourself up for success by planning in a way that works for your brain How to determine if an opportunity is truly a "hell yes" (and a simple test I use for client work) Practical ways to advocate for yourself even when it makes you nervous Building rest into your schedule as a non-negotiable part of your success strategy Reminding yourself that you are enough exactly as you are At the end of the episode, I share an unofficial seventh reminder that emerged naturally: The more you lean into being your authentic self, the better.
