Send us a text This week, I’m sharing a powerful conversation I had on Lead with Dr. Ralph Hughes —and we went deep. Dr. Ralph invited me to share my journey from being a senior executive to coaching, and the pivotal mindset shifts that changed everything—from burnout and people-pleasing to boundaries, purpose, and unshakable confidence. In this episode, we unpack: ✅ My exit from 20+ years at Nike, Walmart, Chewy, and Coupang—and what finally pushed me to walk away ✅ Why emotional intelligence is the key to real leadership (not squeezing more out of people) ✅ The two practices that saved me from burnout—and still anchor my life today ✅ The real confidence killers: self-criticism, people-pleasing, and tying your worth to your job title ✅ The “Achievement Board” technique I use with clients to rewire their internal thermostat for success ✅ Why I stopped living on autopilot—and started designing a life I actually want ✅ And some very real stories… including road rage and a stolen scooter (yes, really) At the heart of it all is this: When you shift your thoughts, you shift your reality. The moment you move from reactive to intentional… everything begins to change. Tune in to hear the full story—and walk away with inspiration and practical tools to lead powerfully and live authentically.
