In this edition of The Leadership Pulse, weโre diving deep into one of the most underestimated power moves in leadership: living authentically. If youโve ever felt like youโre performing your life instead of living itโespecially in midlifeโyouโre not alone. This issue unpacks why so many high-achieving women feel stuck, how burnout often hides behind success, and what it really looks like to lead with alignment, truth, and power. Plus, Iโm sharing three practical power moves you can start using today to reclaim your energy, clarity, and joy.

"Sometimes leadership isnโt loudโ
itโs the quiet decision to keep showing up for yourself when no one else is watching."

You can be winning on paperโand still withering inside.
I know, because Iโve been there.
The title.
The team.
The calendar full of meetings.
The quiet ache that no one sees.
You become the one everyone counts on.
But when do you get to fall apart?
To question?
To breathe?
Leadership isn't supposed to be lonely.
Itโs just been modeled that way.
In this weekโs Leadership Pulse, Iโm unpacking the hidden cost of being โthe strong oneโโand what it takes to lead without losing yourself in the process.
Because the truth is:
You donโt need another title.
You need a room that sees your truth.

Thank you for joining me on the evolution journey in this group. As with all evolution, I'm co-founding a formal free community with my partner Lola Small. I am honored to invite you to join our Rising Beyond Global Community. It'll be on an amazing platform called Skool. This isn't the school you knew and loved to hate when you were a kid. Facebook is cool but we want more room for collaboration and interaction ๐ฅฐ
This is grown up school where we bring grown challenges and solutions in community and lift each other up!
After being the President of the FEMA Women's Forum (1200+ nationwide members), the President of FemCity International, the VP at UN Women, and leading other spaces for women internationally for over 15 years...we decided to take our friendship and sisterhood and intellectual potential and forge a path that takes everything we've learned and all that experience and rise beyond even our own capacity to imagine what this could look like.
The doors are open for a limited time - take a leap of courage and help us as we co-create and curate content and events that bring a whole other vibe to the right tribe โจ โจ
Hop in and invite your warrior friends also. This is by women for women. Let's go!
PS: check out our Welcome video where we get real and honest about why we're putting ourselves out there to bring this to life!
Your support and spirit is welcome ๐ค
