Kayleigh is in her masculine today and we can tell.

In this episode, we sat down after an incredible experience at the Beauty Matter Summit to share the raw truth about networking that no one tells you—and why 90% of people are doing it completely wrong.

We dive deep into management styles and get vulnerable about something that's been on my mind: being called "scary" by my team. But here's what I've realized—there's a difference between being feared and having standards. When someone says you're intimidating, it often means they recognize you won't accept mediocrity. I break down why that's not something to apologize for.

We also get into the rise of AI and a problem we're noticing that no one's talking about. People are becoming too reliant on it—and here's the thing: we can tell. We can spot AI-generated work immediately, and it's creating a bigger issue than people realize. Your creativity, your voice, your critical thinking—it's all being outsourced, and it's going to catch up with you.

We also had to share our thoughts on the NBA FBI sports gambling raid and the recent Louvre situation.

This one gets real.

We get real about why bosses can feel scary, why that can actually be a good thing for growth, and explore the importance of women giving themselves space to transition between their feminine and masculine energy, especially when they have pretty intense jobs.
