What does it take to step into leadership with confidence and purpose?

In this episode of Monomyth Diaries, we shine the spotlight on one of our own — Angie, AKA Country Girl, a founding member of the podcast who usually works behind the scenes. This time, Angie steps up to the mic to share her personal journey of growing into leadership, from her role as a manager in corporate America to her involvement with the F4 organization — a community dedicated to empowering women through faith and fitness.

Through honest reflection and heartfelt conversation, Angie opens up about what it truly means to lead — not from a place of authority, but from humility, confidence and growth. Her story reminds us that leadership isn’t about perfection; it’s about showing up, learning from challenges, and helping others rise alongside you.

Have you ever struggled to see yourself as a leader? Or wondered what lessons lie on the other side of responsibility and vulnerability?

Join us as we explore “The Boons of Leadership” — a heartfelt conversation about confidence, faith, and the courage to lead from within.
