Stand Tall & Own It - Equipping Purpose-Driven Leaders to Show Up with Authenticity and Courage
“Just be you,” they say. But for many high-achievers, “just being you” hasn’t always felt safe or practical—whether it’s at work, school, church, or even in leadership circles. For purpose-driven leaders, holding back can limit your impact and undermine your authenticity.
Even in workplaces that claim to value individuality, leading with confidence and conviction still takes courage. To lead with steadiness and clarity, you must first understand your values, embrace your individuality, and recognize that the solutions you need are as unique as you are.
Stand Tall & Own It is for modern leaders who want to lead with purpose, integrity, and courage—without sacrificing who they are. Each episode explores how to navigate challenges, make values-anchored decisions, and cultivate the discernment to think critically in a noisy world.

A Quick & Easy Guide to Personal Boundaries
Feedback or Questions? Send us a text!
It seems like EVERYONE is talking about “boundaries” these days. With online relationships and information sharing “24/7,” we’ve had to learn all over again, what it means to have “personal space.”
In this fourth installment of the “how to deal with holiday stress” mini-series, I demystify the whole conversation. Just like you can’t arbitrarily draw your own property lines around your house, randomly drawn personal boundary lines are not easy to defend, and don’t often make sense.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- What personal boundaries are - your own internal guidelines
- Where they come from - your Core Values
- How they benefit you - emotional resilience, improved relationships, lower stress
- The best method of determining and setting them - know you, and your Core Values
- The most effective ways to maintain them
- Honor your Core Values
- Develop self-respect and trust
- Understand their self-reinforcing nature - your boundaries increase your autonomy and confidence, allowing you to maintain them more consistently.
- Review and evaluate - regularly to see where there are breaches, or leaks
- Shore them up, by revisiting your Core Values, your beliefs, and your goals
