I help high-achieving women in tech turn clarity and confidence into influential leadership, so they ASCEND(TM) into executive roles and drive high-performance cultures without sacrificing authenticity or balance.

It’s been…a lot lately, professional curve-balls blurring the line between β€œI’ve got this” and β€œWho even let me in the room?”

Bump that, flipping on my #SashaFierce switch

Official eviction notice is in hand, the #ImposterMonster can collect its imaginary rent deposit on the way out.

You've got to earn the right to be followed.

You've got to earn the right to be followed.

If your team is underperforming, it’s not JUST their failure.
It’s yours.

Great leaders don’t hoard wins and deflect losses.
They own EVERYTHING that shapes their teams outcomes.
Good and Bad.

Disagree? Let’s talk.

They say...
Don’t dim your light.
Don’t shrink yourself.

But what does that really mean?
πŸ‘‰ Stop contorting yourself to make others comfy.
πŸ‘‰ Stop squeezing your brilliance into someone else’s box.

Some folks aren't ready for ALL of you.

And that's ok...✨ Let ’em choke on your brilliance. ✨

Perfectionism isn't high standards. It's just procrastination in heels.

Perfectionism isn't high standards. It's just procrastination in heels.

High standards focus on impact;
Perfectionism focuses on image.
Choose IMPACT. πŸ’ƒπŸΎ

Dapper the Dood's BOOP!

Dapper the Dood's BOOP!

Lately, stress has been high and somehow, my dog just knows.

He hovers close. Nudges my hand. Reminds me to breathe, release, reset.

Especially if treats and belly rubs are involved. πŸΆπŸ’›

Sometimes the best kind of leadership is quiet, furry, and full of empathy.

The sun does not grieve the loss of yesterday. 
The sun does not mourn the clouds that blocked it’s way.

It says β€œI am the dawn of a new day” and leverages the challenges of yesterday to create something beautiful today.

You are the dawn of your new day. Own it!

The sun doesn’t grieve yesterday. It doesn’t mourn the clouds. It RISES. β˜€οΈ And so do you.

Missed deadlines? Mistakes? Doubts? They aren’t setbacksβ€”they’re stepping stones.

Extend grace to yourself. Rise. Shine. Own your journey.

Hey Sis! Feeling Stuck? You're not alone, we've all been there.  Here’s the truth:
You are enough.
You have the skills.
You deserve the seat at the table.

Remember, your next level is just one BOLD step away.
