When we feel frustrated or angry, it is human nature to want to “vent” and share our challenges with others. It helps us feel less alone in our trials and relieve some stress, but is it always helpful?

In this episode, I share my perspective about “venting” conversations and when they are helpful and when they become simply gossip.

After listening in, I hope that you will pause and think about the purpose of your venting before your next conversation with a friend. It will definitely make a positive impact on your mindset and your relationships.

A few weeks in Europe have left me with a lot to say! From travel hiccups to business surprises back home, to the emotional revelations I felt while vacationing with my son.

I’m excited to be home and to reflect on what this time has meant to me. We can learn a lot when we’re taken out of our regular day-to-day lives for a while.

In this episode, I’m sharing a few of the lessons I learned while traveling, including what this trip meant to me and what I’ve learned about myself.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Allowing your role to change as you learn to parent young adults

How do you show up in the world?

I have worked in the education realm for over 20 years and something that we teachers absolutely love is acronyms! We have one for everything.

In this episode of Leading Lady, I am going to be sharing with you one of my favorite acronyms ever because it has helped me so much and I really think it will help you too. I have used it daily for the last several years and it has made a true difference in my life.

This particular acronym is relatively new and was created to reduce online bullying. It’s called THINK. With this acronym, I want you to think about how you show up in the world. How do you show up as a leader, as a business owner, as a woman, or as a mother?

As high-achieving women, we have to use our voices in our leadership roles. Whether it’s leading our family, our business, a boardroom, or just ourselves, use the THINK acronym and ask yourself if the things you’re saying are aligned with how you want to show up.

Tune in to hear what this acronym stands for, how it has helped me, ways to apply it to all aspects of your life, and how it can help you become the type of woman or leader that you have always wanted to be.

What does it take to be a leader?

If you have been following me for a while, you know that I always say “take the lead, and the rest will follow.” If you have air in your lungs, you are a leader. But how do you take the lead in your life?

In this episode of Leading Lady, I am breaking down the word LEADER, and how I use that word in many areas of my coaching.

In my business and leadership masterclass, the word “leader” is broken down into six different modules. My book, TAKE THE LEAD, also follows the acronym L.E.A.D.E.R.: Learner’s mindset, Engagement, Authenticity, Dedication, Emotional Intelligence, and Resilience. I am breaking down what each of these means to me in my business and also giving you some tidbits so you can start thinking about how you are showing up as a leader in your life throughout this episode.

It all starts with self-leadership. How are you leading yourself? Others? Your family? Your business? These are all incredibly important aspects of your life, and I want you to be able to show up and be the leader you have always wanted to be.

Every letter and every aspect of the L.E.A.D.E.R. acronym is equally important. They all blend and work together to help you grow as a leader. Tune in to learn more about the six pieces of leadership and how they can help you step into the leadership role in your life.

Have you ever found yourself judging a business without considering the human behind it? In this deeply honest solo episode, I open up about a moment that rattled me—a toxic online post about another female founder—and how it unexpectedly struck a nerve. I reflect on the reality of leading a community, the courage it takes to put yourself out there, and the vulnerability that comes with being the face of your brand. Whether you’re a solopreneur, community leader, or simply someone navigating the noise of social media, this conversation will resonate on a human level.

I share personal stories, real feelings, and hard truths about showing up—even when it’s uncomfortable. This episode isn’t just about online criticism; it’s about compassion, boundaries, and the quiet courage to keep going, even when you know you’re not everyone’s cup of tea. Tune in to explore why visibility can be both empowering and terrifying, and how we can lead with grace in a world quick to judge.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why visibility and vulnerability often go hand-in-hand

• The hard truth about being the “villain” in someone else’s story

• How boundaries and integrity can coexist with support and compassion

• Why small business owners carry more emotional weight than we think
