Take The Leap
Take the Leap is the podcast where we get real about the rollercoaster that is entrepreneurship and life.
Sure, some folks make running a business look like a walk in the park, but let's be honest – it's more like a wild ride through a theme park with unexpected twists and turns!
Join us your co-hosts, Victoria & Ashlan, as we spill the beans on our own real-life experiences and shine a spotlight on some amazing guests. From the highs of success stories to the lows of epic failures, and hey, we'll even throw in some cringe-worthy, laugh-out-loud embarrassing moments for good measure!
So buckle up and tune in every week for a dose of raw, unfiltered truth about what it's really like to chase your dreams and build a business. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just dipping your toes into the startup world, we've got something for everyone. Even if it's just to make you think, "I'm so glad I didn't do what they did!"

#145: The Power of Showing Up with Integrity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we welcome back Asmaa Methqal for a powerful conversation about leadership, community, intuition, and what it means to move through transition with trust. Since her last visit, Asmaa has launched The Thread: Women + Tech Vancouver, an in-person community created to help women in tech build real connection, sharpen their skills, and practice showing up with integrity.
Together, we explore what happens when things don’t go according to plan, why clarity comes through action, and how honoring your emotions can help you move toward the next aligned step. This episode is a grounding reminder that your growth doesn’t require perfection–it requires presence, reflection, and the courage to honor yourself.
Key Takeaways
- Clarity comes through action, not waiting until you feel perfectly ready.
- Community is built through consistency, follow-through, and real human connection.
- Your integrity shows up in whether you keep your word to others and to yourself.
- When something feels blocked, it may be time to pivot, pause, or let it go.
- Reflection helps you turn experiences into lessons instead of just moving on to the next thing.
- Rest only works when you release the guilt attached to it.
- Your life can change in a second when you begin expecting possibilities instead of limitations.
- Honoring your emotions is part of leadership, not a distraction from it.
- Women often carry guilt, comparison, and overgiving, and releasing those patterns creates more space for aligned growth.
- Sometimes the “gift” in a hard season is the clarity it gives you about what needs to change.
