Balancing a high-powered executive role with motherhood and marriage is no small feat. It takes grit, intention, and the courage to embrace flexibility over perfection.
In this episode of Female Fluence, Chief Operating Officer Shayla Smith shares how she’s navigated being one of the few women in the C-suite while raising a family, leading with authenticity, and advocating for herself in male-dominated spaces.
Shayla’s story is a powerful reminder that there’s no one-size-fits-all path to success. As women, we don’t have to be everything to everybody, we just have to be intentional, grounded, and unapologetically ourselves.
From building strong support systems to creating a workplace culture that truly values family, Shayla offers real-world insights on leading at the top while staying connected to what matters most. You’ll hear how she’s cultivated grit as her superpower, the habits that keep her grounded, and her advice for women aiming for senior leadership without sacrificing their personal lives.
True balance starts with prioritizing yourself, because you can’t pour from an empty cup. Self-care, clear boundaries, and a strong network are key for women leading at home and in the boardroom.
Shayla shares how she’s:
- Built a career as a top executive without losing sight of family values
- Created a leadership style rooted in authenticity and empathy
- Navigated challenges unique to women in corporate leadership
- Modeled a culture where work and family can thrive together
Whether you’re climbing the corporate ladder, building your own business, or balancing both, this conversation will leave you inspired to lean into your own grit, own your individuality, and lead on your terms.
