ROOTED IN YOUR CONFIDENCE
She Stopped Asking for Permission: Women in Tech, Confidence & Building a Purpose-Driven Business
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when a woman stops waiting for permission and finally trusts herself enough to build the thing she can’t stop thinking about?
In this episode of Rooted in Your Confidence, Samantha sits down with Lacey Cadieux-McLean, Founder and CEO of Rhubaia, an eco-conscious fashion brand paired with an AI-powered Virtual Closet designed to help women manage their wardrobes more intentionally while reducing textile waste.
Before launching Rhubaia, Lacey spent more than 15 years leading technology initiatives in male-dominated industries as a certified Project Management Professional. Raised on a ranch in northern Alberta, her connection to nature and sustainability eventually collided with her passion for innovation, technology, and leadership.
This conversation goes far beyond fashion.
Lacey opens up about self-doubt, leadership, entrepreneurship, learning to trust her voice, and what it looks like to take up space in rooms where women are still underrepresented.
Inside this episode, we discuss:
• Women leading in male-dominated industries
• Confidence and self-trust
• Entrepreneurship and innovation
• Sustainable fashion and AI technology
• Taking your seat at the table
• Leadership as a woman in tech
• Turning personal frustration into purpose
• Why women downplay their greatness
• Building a mission-driven company
This episode is for the woman who keeps questioning herself while carrying a vision bigger than what the world expects from her.
Because sometimes the biggest shift happens the moment you stop asking for permission and decide to trust yourself instead.
