We’re told to be confident.

To take up space.

To lead boldly.

But what if the world you’re leading in was built to keep you small?

In this conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Tamara White—psychologist, coach and founder of The Courageous Woman Effect—for a deeply honest conversation about what it really takes to lead with courage when the pressure to stay quiet, grateful and overextended is everywhere.

This isn’t about surface-level empowerment.

It’s about unlearning the rules that have kept you stuck—and finally saying yes to the version of yourself you've been postponing.

We get into:

💥 Why women leaders stay “busy but unsatisfied”—and how to break that cycle

🧠 The invisible weight of overachieving, performing, and proving

💡 The moment Dr. White stopped saying no to herself—and what shifted after

🔥 How to reclaim agency, rest and visibility (without guilt)

🚫 Why courage doesn’t always look loud—and why softness is a power move

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I keep playing small even when I know I’m meant for more?” — this is the episode that names it, challenges it and gives you tools to rise.
