Burn Bright, Lead Bold
This isn’t a feel-good blog. It’s a leadership wake-up call.
If you're a high-achieving woman in finance or tech who's done everything "right"—yet still feels stuck, depleted, or invisible—this is your space. Here, I share bold insights, raw truths, and industry-shifting strategies that challenge outdated leadership models and reignite your clarity, confidence, and personal power.
Each post is designed to help you break free from misalignment—not just burnout—and step into the aligned, energizing leadership you were always meant for.

Conscious vs Unconscious
I spent years going back to work after every holiday break, telling myself, "This time will be different."
Every December, I have the same conversation with myself. Every January, I walked back in, telling myself I'd finally set boundaries or prioritize differently. Every February, I was back in the exact same loop, the clarity I had during my vacation completely buried under deadlines and deliverables.
The gap between who I was and who I was becoming got wider each time. The cost of ignoring what I knew got higher each year.
What finally changed wasn't that I got braver. It was then that I finally asked myself a different question.
