Ep 034-I'm Crushing It But Why Can't I Own It? Send a text

Why is it easier to say, “I’m ambitious,” than “I’ve achieved”?
 In this episode, I break down why so many high-achieving women (myself included!) struggle to own their success. From redefining what achievement even is, to a conversation between my 6-year-old daughter and her bestie that stopped me in my tracks, this episode is full of truth bombs, real-talk, and one heck of a reminder: you’ve done more than you’re giving yourself credit for.

🎯 We unpack:

  • The emotional weight behind “ambitious” vs “achieving”
  • How midlife shifts your ability to own your wins
  • A heart-melting self-love lesson from two 6-year-olds
  • Simple ways to friend yourself first—yes, actually

🎧 Hit play. Then send it to your bestie!

In this deeply personal solo episode, I unpack what it really means to live a creative life while juggling the realities of adulthood, ambition, and mental health.

I share a story about a fellow artist at a crossroads—struggling financially but convinced they were “born for this.” Sound familiar? I’ve been there. In fact, I’m still there… sometimes mid-pivot, sometimes standing still, sometimes flying forward.

This isn’t about glamorizing the hustle. It’s about telling the truth: you can have more than one dream. You’re allowed to pause one without abandoning it. Stability and ambition don’t have to be enemies. And if you’ve ever wondered if it’s okay to pivot or reroute—this one’s for you.

In This Episode, I Talk About:

  • Why "burn the boats" advice doesn’t work for everyone
  • What it really looks like to balance your dreams with your bills
  • The myth of confidence in creative industries
  • What high-achieving, neurodiverse minds misunderstand about procrastination
  • The unsexy but essential role of baseline stability
  • Why having more than one dream isn’t scattered—it’s strategic
  • What filling “all the pots” in your life might look like

Key Quote:
 "A decision isn’t a decision until it’s put into action. But that doesn’t mean all your actions need to go in one direction."

Listen if you’re:

  • A multi-passionate creator trying to “make it”
  • Balancing caregiving, bills, and bold dreams
  • Questioning your path, your pace, or your plan
  • Someone who hyper-focuses… until you don’t
  • Ready to feel a little more whole—on your own terms

In this raw and heart-opening episode of She Takes the Lead, I sit down with Danielle Sebastian—a pharmacist turned trauma-partner support coach—to dive into the unspoken world of being married to someone with unresolved trauma. If you’ve ever felt like you’re walking on eggshells in your relationship, or you’re trying to hold your household together while your partner heals, this one is for you.

What We Talk About:

  • Understanding trauma responses and what’s really going on in your partner’s brain
  •  How Danielle went from pharmacist to author and wife-care coach
  •  The moment her marriage hit rock bottom—and how they clawed their way back
  •  Why setting boundaries isn’t betrayal—it’s survival
  •  How to decide if healing together is possible…or if it’s time to walk away
  •  Parenting while managing triggers (yours and theirs)
  •  Real scripts for starting that tough convo when you feel alone in your relationship

Key Takeaways:

  • Trauma responses aren't personal—they're protective.
  • Love is not about being a savior. It's about being a partner.
  • You don’t need a traumatic childhood to have trauma responses.
  • If you're constantly trying to prevent the next meltdown, you’re not thriving—you’re surviving.
  • Empathy is a tool, not a personality trait. Use it wisely and with boundaries.

What do a teenage debate champion, a C-suite executive, and a karaoke-dodging jazz singer all have in common? Yep—public speaking anxiety.

In this episode of She Takes The Lead, I sit down with the fantastic and fun Devin Sarno—founder of Parlay Communicators, keynote speaker, and public speaking coach—to unpack why so many of us freeze up when it’s time to speak in front of others... even if we’re literally pros.

Devin shares how her theater background and coaching competitive speech and debate for teens shaped her unique, empathy-first approach to helping people use their voice without fear (or fake pep talks). From awkward boardroom requests to "just sing something" conference room horror stories, we talk about why even the most seasoned professionals can feel like total frauds with a mic in hand.

You’ll learn:

  • Why imposter syndrome and stage fright are basically evil twins
  • How to build trust when you only have 60 seconds and a shaky voice
  • The key to sounding like a leader—even when you’re internally screaming
  • What to do when a performance becomes about proving people wrong (hint: don’t do it)
  • How introverts can connect authentically without oversharing or trauma-dumping (yep, we said it)

Whether you’re pitching, presenting, or just trying to talk to another parent at the school bake sale without breaking into a flop sweat—this one’s for you.

Listen now and learn how to stop white-knuckling your way through every conversation. Your voice deserves to be heard—without the panic.

What if self-care wasn’t just about bubble baths and spa days, but a radical act of self-seduction? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Sapha Pardo Heckman, Embodied Sovereignty Mentor & Priestess of Feminine Alchemy, to explore how women can reclaim their confidence, step into their personal power, and cultivate deep self-love—without conditions.

We dive into:

  • The Art of Self-Seduction: Why falling in love with yourself is the key to true empowerment
  •  Breaking Free from the ‘Self-Love’ Trap: Why traditional self-care advice keeps women stuck
  • Personal Sovereignty: How to stop living at the mercy of others and take full control of your life
  • Dark Feminine Energy & Embodiment: What it really means to embrace your full power—without apology

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing the work (therapy, books, self-help) but still feel stuck, this episode is for you. Get ready for an eye-opening, paradigm-shifting conversation that will change how you see yourself forever.

Episode Summary:
In this empowering episode of She Takes The Lead, I sit down with Raimonda Jan, founder of Women Thrive Summit and Women Thrive Media, to talk about the power of visibility, breaking through self-imposed limitations, and stepping into your full potential. We dive into the fear of being seen, how to balance ambition with motherhood, and the self-liberation that comes with shedding old identities.

Whether you're a high-achieving woman navigating life transitions or an entrepreneur ready to take up more space, this conversation will give you the mindset shifts you need to stop playing small and start advocating for yourself.

💡 In this episode, we cover:
✔️ Why visibility is non-negotiable for success (even when it feels scary)
✔️ The moment Raimonda realized she was holding herself back—and how she changed it
✔️ How motherhood fueled her entrepreneurial growth strategy
✔️ The surprising way she found self-liberation (hint: it involves a major hair transformation)
✔️ Why "there are no limits" should be your new mantra

Quotes You’ll Love:

💬 "I knew that if I wanted to make a difference, I had to advocate for myself and what I do."
💬 "There are no limits. Don’t tell me it can’t be done—tell me how we can do it."
💬 "Even on your worst day, you are enough."

💌 Happy Valentine’s Day, Party People! 💌

In this special Valentine’s Day episode, I get real about what love actually looks like—the grand gestures, the small moments, and why flowers don’t mean sh*t (well, sometimes). From the most romantic act I’ve ever experienced (hint: it involved a bodega and a rainstorm) to why I willingly get scammed by the commercialized love-fest that is February 14th, we’re unpacking it all.

But let’s not stop at romance—because let’s be honest, love is so much bigger than candlelit dinners and overpriced roses. We’re talking about the power of platonic friendships, why relying on one person to fill every emotional need is a disaster waiting to happen, and how checking boxes in dating apps might actually be sabotaging our love lives.

And, because I can’t help myself, we’re throwing in some Say Anything nostalgia, the rebel move of staying optimistic in love, and how my daughter schooled me on the real meaning of Valentine’s Day with 27 hand-drawn high fives.

What’s Inside This Episode?

💔 The truth about flowers vs. real romantic gestures
💡 Why platonic friendships are the backbone of lasting love
📋 Are dating checklists ruining romance?
🎬 A nostalgic nod to ‘80s rom-coms and what they got so wrong
❤️ The real rebel move: staying optimistic about love

This Conversation with Aubrey Hubbell Will Make You Rethink Everything About Female Leadership and Taboo Topics 🎯

Here's the 5-second summary: Aubrey Hubbell is disrupting the femcare industry by making products women actually want to use, not hide. And she's doing it while crushing motherhood and leadership stereotypes. Let's dive in!

THE TRUTH BOMB 💥

50% of women experience leaks. FIFTY PERCENT. Yet we're all walking around pretending it's not happening. Aubrey saw this massive disconnect and created Hazel - but here's what makes her different: she approached it from a beauty and wellness angle, not the tired old "clinical" approach.

CAREER RECEIPTS 🧾

- Started in NYC startups

- Helped build Rockets of Awesome from scratch

- First product designer at Zola

- Now: Founder & Chief Design Officer at Hazel

 

HERE'S WHY THIS MATTERS 👊

Aubrey's breaking down barriers in THREE massive ways:

  1. Making "taboo" products beautiful (seriously, the packaging is Instagram-worthy)
  2. Using real, non-photoshopped models
  3. Getting major press (VOGUE!) to talk about incontinence openly

 

THE LEADERSHIP TRUTH NO ONE TELLS YOU 📢

You don't need to be the loudest voice in the room. Aubrey's approach? Build relationships. Listen hard. Bring in people smarter than you. Period.

 

MOTHERHOOD REAL TALK 🤱

- Had her first baby while running a startup

- Takes her kid to wine bars (yes, really!)

- Zero perfectionist BS about "balance"

- Just makes it work, day by day

 

LISTEN UP: The big lesson here isn't just about building a successful company. It's about bringing your whole self to everything you do. No compartmentalizing. No hiding. Just authenticity.

WHERE TO FIND HAZEL:

HelloHazel.com

Instagram: @hellohazel_

Available at: Meijer, Wegmans, Raley's

BOTTOM LINE: Stop waiting for permission to tackle the "taboo" stuff. The world needs more leaders like Aubrey who see stigma and think "challenge accepted." 

NOW GO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! 🚀

Ready to discover why the right squad can supercharge your journey? Let's dive in.

The Power of Your Inner Circle: A Deep DiveIn this raw and real conversation, I'm pulling back the curtain on how surrounding yourself with the right people can be the difference between dreaming and doing. Whether you're launching your dream business or completely reinventing yourself, your tribe is your secret weapon.

The Ultimate Tribe Blueprint: Three Pillars of SupportI'm breaking down my signature framework for building an unshakeable support system:

Truth-Tellers: Your personal board of directors who deliver honesty wrapped in love. These are your reality-check champions who'll tell you when your lipstick's smudged or your brilliant idea needs a reality check.

Kindred Spirits: The souls who light up when you talk about your dreams because they're walking a similar path. They get your late-night brainstorming sessions and celebrate your micro-wins like they're Olympic medals.

Growth Catalysts: The game-changing workshops, mentors, and resources that transform your "someday" dreams into "right now" action plans.

Behind the ScenesFresh from contributing to Women Thrive Magazine, I'm sharing intimate insights about how vulnerability revolutionized my relationships and why authenticity isn't just a buzzword—it's your superpower in building real connections.

Your Next StepsReady to build your dream team? I'm dropping practical strategies for cultivating authentic relationships that stand the test of time. Plus, get the inside scoop on exclusive upcoming programs designed to help you navigate life's biggest transitions with grace and grit.

I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down to talk with Kathy Baldwin, Life Purpose Strategist and Gen X Renaissance Woman.  Kathy helps women (yes, all of us strong, stubborn, stressed-out types) finally "Unlearn the Crap" that keeps us trapped in burnout, depression and making the same mistakes over and over again. Kathy is unabashedly honest about her journey.  She shares everything from her revelation after a life altering mental breakdown to the revolutionary 4x Win Community she has created where everyone can actually win! She shares with us how to ditch the disempowering conditioning so we can bring our unique gifts to the world—and maybe even enjoy a little peace, passion, and prosperity along the way.

What We Covered:

  1. Gen X Vibes: Growing Up in the “Be a Good Girl” Era

    • Kathy and I dive deep into what it was like for Gen X women, raised with the charming mantra of "put everyone else first, smile through it, and stay quiet." Turns out, following those rules comes at a cost—hello, burnout and breakdowns! Kathy shares how even as an educated, outspoken advocate for women’s empowerment, she still found herself on the edge of collapse before realizing something had to give.

  2. Burnout, Breakdowns & Rebuilding from Scratch

    • Imagine losing everything—family, friends, health, finances—and having nothing left but yourself. That’s where Kathy found herself before she began to really live for herself. This brutal but eye-opening journey taught her the hard way about self-worth, power, and how to rebuild from the inside out.

  3. Resilience Isn’t Just About Toughing It Out

    • Kathy doesn’t sugarcoat it: resilience is not about powering through like a machine; it’s about understanding ourselves. She compares real growth to baking a cake (who knew self-care and cake had so much in common?), reminding us that resilience has to be nurtured, not forced.

  4. Welcome to the "Second Puberty" of Life

    • Kathy reframes perimenopause and menopause as a “second puberty” where we transition into a new, empowered stage. Forget society’s “washed up” narrative; Kathy sees this phase as our true time to shine, where we embrace our wisdom, mentor others, and live unapologetically.

  5. Unlearning the Crap That Holds Us Back

Ana Salido has some gems...

"It’s not just about bubble baths and massages,"  Real self-care requires deeper work: reconnecting with yourself, knowing your emotions, and building daily habits that sustain well-being. It's about small actions daily rather than waiting for rare, grand moments of self-care.

“If you lose your why, you lose your way.” (another gem) Whether it’s in relationships, parenting, or personal growth, understanding your purpose helps you stay on track during challenging times.

In this episode, I sit down with Ana Salido, a psychologist-turned-women’s empowerment coach, to explore the deeper meaning of self-care, setting boundaries, and owning your truth. Ana shares how she transitioned from psychology to coaching after noticing that traditional therapy wasn’t meeting women’s needs for connection and empowerment. We discuss how to start small, create meaningful self-care practices, and the power of communicating your needs without guilt or shame.

Ana’s practical advice—start your day by doing something small for yourself—will inspire anyone to take ownership of their well-being.

What We Cover:

  • The difference between being nice and being kind
  • How small daily self-care actions can change your life
  • Why boundaries are essential—and how guilt often gets in the way
  • The importance of reconnecting with yourself and knowing your “why”
  • How honest conversations are built on emotional safety and vulnerability
  • Ana’s advice for showing up fully in relationships, friendships, and family dynamics

Key Quote:"If you lose your why, you lose your way." – Ana Salido

Ana Salido has some gems...

"It’s not just about bubble baths and massages,"  Real self-care requires deeper work: reconnecting with yourself, knowing your emotions, and building daily habits that sustain well-being. It's about small actions daily rather than waiting for rare, grand moments of self-care.

“If you lose your why, you lose your way.” (another gem) Whether it’s in relationships, parenting, or personal growth, understanding your purpose helps you stay on track during challenging times.

In this episode, I sit down with Ana Salido, a psychologist-turned-women’s empowerment coach, to explore the deeper meaning of self-care, setting boundaries, and owning your truth. Ana shares how she transitioned from psychology to coaching after noticing that traditional therapy wasn’t meeting women’s needs for connection and empowerment. We discuss how to start small, create meaningful self-care practices, and the power of communicating your needs without guilt or shame.

Ana’s practical advice—start your day by doing something small for yourself—will inspire anyone to take ownership of their well-being.

What We Cover:

  • The difference between being nice and being kind
  • How small daily self-care actions can change your life
  • Why boundaries are essential—and how guilt often gets in the way
  • The importance of reconnecting with yourself and knowing your “why”
  • How honest conversations are built on emotional safety and vulnerability
  • Ana’s advice for showing up fully in relationships, friendships, and family dynamics

Key Quote:"If you lose your why, you lose your way." – Ana Salido

Bridgerton Season 3, Part 1 is out and I’m here for it!

I’m all in!  Colin and Penelope’s story of friends to lovers hits every sweet spot of my 12 year old self who so wanted to be understood and appreciated for all she was, regardless of her very trendy but not particularly flattering A-line hair-cut and the rolls from her middle that spilled over the waist band of her acid washed jeans. 

If you are a fan, you know this is a big season and it’s sparked a lot of debate around body positivity and the complexity of romantic relationships.  It begs the age-old question, can men and women be friends.  Remember what Billy Crystal so eloquently said in When Harry Met Sally, sex always gets in the way. 

But what if you don’t look like the sexy romantic lead that’s conjured in the mind of the white, Euro-Ameri-typical body type?  Does the sex get in the way then?  Then, is he just not that into you?  Here’s my question.  What if he’s into you because you are not the sexy romantic lead.

In this episode we explore what the pleasure of beauty actually is. And how being "seen" can be one of the most intimate experiences in any relationship.

I went to a baby naming. What the hell is that you say? It’s a Jewish tradition. A relatively recent Jewish tradition for girls.  When boys get circumcised, 8 days after they’re born, they get their Hebrew name which connects them to their Jewish identity. Girls aren’t circumcised (of course) but more recently, like in the last 50 or 60 years, I think, girls have a Hebrew naming ceremony. We went to this naming…It was lovely.  And at a bar! Even better!  

I find this tradition beautiful and meaningful because for the better part of my life I fucking hated my name!  Now that I’ve lived for a thousand years, I think it’s grown on me, or I’ve grown into redefining it but I always felt like the only “Carole” people knew were someone’s 80 year old Aunt and maybe the twin sister of Claire. It felt very bland to me. I don't really consider myself a bland person.  When I was younger, I was worried I was bland.  And bland in New York does not bode well!

At his stage in life, I don't think anybody's bland per say.  Everybody’s got something. And if somebody were to say that to me, that they felt like they were bland or their name was bland, I would sit there and point out all the reasons why they weren't, because I definitely talk to others far more kindly, than I talk to myself. Nonetheless that's sort of how I I felt about my name. 

I wanted to be exotic and mysterious and interesting and have an “a” at the end! A precious vowel like Gabriella, Andrea or Sophia did…Carole could not be more consonant heavy. The “e” at the end gives a little spin in writing but otherwise, to me, the last sound “L” in Carole stood for LOOSER. Sigh.  

When I started thinking about what I wanted to name my daughter, as a single mom I didn't have to negotiate with anybody. My choice entirely. Score 1 for the single mom. I feel like I did right by her with her name, I'm sure at some point she will be talking to a therapist about how I messed that up for her, but hopefully she’ll eventually be happy. And that her name, amongst many other things gives her confidence.

That's one of the more important themes for me as a parent.  I want to make sure she's a confident kid, so she’ll be a confident adult.

I didn't feel confident I guess, and I don't think that my name helped. I Don't necessarily think it harmed it, but it didn’t make me feel better.  

Now that I’m older I can see how it aligns. In my mind, “Carole” may have been bland but she’s also sturdy, strong, steady, could see your side of things, and is someone you can count on.

Truth, you can count on me.  You always have been able to count on me. I'm not a wild person.  I've had some wild experiences but ultimately, fundamentally, I'm not like a wild person. I take risks. I love calculated risks.  Change.  I love trying new things. I find it invigorating but I also like traditions. I'm not living a “traditional l

Say you got mugged the first time you took the 1 train in NYC.  Cr@p!  you need to take it to get to work every day but your scared.  The solution?  Get over it.  Move passed it. How do you do that? Pro-actively create a Restorative Experience. That’s just a fancy way of phrasing that you take it over and over again to face your fears and change your memories of it so you don’t associate it with bad things.  

When I first heard the term Restorative Experience I assumed it meant you create an experience to help restore your energy or something.  Like a vacation.  But in this context it’s more about having a redo.  

I took the kid to the Dominican Republic for some R&R. Last year, I took us to the Iberostar in Riviera Maya, Mexico which was in fact my first vacay in 5 years! Thanks childbirth and Covid!

Five years sounds like an exaggeration.  (And if it doesn’t stop reading and schedule some time off stat!)

Anyway, for me, 5 years was not an exaggeration at all…So to say our trip to Mexico was loaded is an understatement.

Unfortunately, the night before we left, I had a big drama at work and was unable to let it go during the vacation.  I did my best to try and make sure my kid had fun and I had a few moments where I almost decompressed a little but part of being a single mom going on vacation with only a child as your companion is you’re on duty the whole time and you have no grown-ups to talk to. No sounding board.  And as a result, the whole trip was just a long dialogue with me and me in my own little head.  And my own little head is hardly a place I want to be for any prolonged length of time, and just as I had a bit of distance to try to breath.  The 5 days was over, and we went home and I, back to work.

So now we’re in the DR at this beautiful resort called

I love this topic. I’m fascinated by it! It’s one of the things we all, every last human being on the planet, have in common, and it’s coming for all of us!  

CHANGE

From your mind, to your clothes, to your circumstances.  It’s the ebb and flow of life and some people HATE it.  With all they have.

Change is that inevitable force that shakes up everything from our minds to our wardrobe to the very fabric of our lives. And guess what? We're all in it together!

Whether we like it or not. Terrifying or exhilarating?

Now, here's a fun fact to kick things off: did you know that studies suggest our brains interpret change as literal pain? WTF, right? It's like our minds are wired to resist anything that disrupts our cozy little routines. But hey, where's the fun in staying stagnant, that would suck.

That said, habit is the comfort zone of the human mind. There's something oddly satisfying about knowing exactly what's coming next, like binge-watching your favorite show for the umpteenth time (How many times have you rewatched Ted Lasso?).

But here's the kicker: too much routine can dull the mind faster than my kid grows out of shoes!

Take it from me, I’m amazing at overanalyzing plot twists. I was so terrified of the “big reveal” my mind went into overdrive and a third of the way through the Sixth Sense, I knew Bruce Willis dead.  And I do that a lot.  Fight or flight for movie buffs. Hopefully that doesn’t stop you from going to the movies with me. However, in life, somehow I know change is inevitable; it's where the magic happens.  And I love it! I embrace it.  I’m actually kind of good at it.

In the wise words of my old acting teacher (or maybe it was Stella Adler, who knows?), "In nature, everything either grows, changes, or dies." Personally, I think it's more about growing or dying, sometimes both simultaneously. But hey, let's focus on the growth part, shall we?

Now, I'll be the first to admit, change can be daunting. But as someone who's pivoted more times than JLo’s career (mad respect – talk about manifesting), I've learned to embrace the chaos with open arms. From career shifts to personal transformations, change is my middle name (well, actually it’s Leigh but for these purposes you get it).

But here's the kicker: I don't just tolerate change; I thrive on it. Whether it's rocking a new hair color or tackling a fresh project, I'm all about mixing things up.

I've got my constants, and those are critical too.  I mean clearly some things are the very much the same in my own life, I’ve lived in the same building for the majority of my life but amidst the stability, I want to evolve, to grow, and chase my dreams like they owe me money.

So, what's the secret sauce to winning at this change game? Well, I've here are three key ingredients:

  1. Don't Make It Precious: Life's decisions are more like snow

I’m very excited for this episode because not only is it my first interview on She Takes The Lead, but I have a great guest and I’m so jazzed  to welcome him , his name is Adam Freeman he is a multi-faceted producer, director and writer with over 25 years of experience in unscripted and scripted television. He did an 11 year stint at MTV which culminated into over 1,000 hours of live TV including Total Request Live, Direct Effect, and all

of MTV's New Year's Eve and Wanna Be A VJ, events. After that he went on to be the youngest show runner in syndication with the launch of On Air with Ryan Seacrest. He did shows with Nick Cannon and Chelsea Handler and followed that by directing over 160 episodes of "Gene Simmons Family Jewels” helping to turn that 4 person production company into what is now known as Thinkfactory Media - an ITV company that produces some of the biggest brands on American television in non-scripted programming including the hits Marriage Boot Camp and Mama June: From Not To Hot, both of which Adam created. His critically acclaimed comic book "The Highwaymen" (written with the fab Marc Bernardin) is in development at New Line and now he has added yet another facet to his to his very extensive professional resume as a stand up comic! I hope you enjoy the insightful, introspective and insanely funny...Adam Freeman!
