EP: 35 | Own Your Rise: Redefining Career Growth on Your Terms
In this episode, I’m sharing what so many high-achieving women are afraid to admit out loud: that success doesn’t always feel the way we expected it to. If your career has felt too fast, too slow, or not quite aligned—you’re not alone.
I’ll walk you through the mindset shifts and strategic insights behind my Own Your Rise Workshop—and how it’s helping ambitious women get clear, get visible, and feel good in the process.
👉 If you’re ready to lead with clarity, confidence, and direction—without sacrificing your life or peace of mind—this one’s for you.
