What if playing small is the very thing keeping you overwhelmed?

In this powerful conversation with leadership coach and facilitator, Julie Boll, we unpack what happens when women shrink their goals to stay safe, say yes to too much, and call it balance. Julie shares her journey from nonprofit executive to entrepreneur—and how learning to trust herself changed everything.

We talk about: ✨ Why playing small often leads to burnout, not peace ✨ The hidden bias that treats women’s goals like hobbies ✨ How self-trust and community accelerate growth ✨ The courage it takes to claim what you’re worth ✨ Letting go of what no longer fits so you can expand

If you’ve ever felt torn between wanting less pressure and bigger dreams, this episode will remind you that self-trust isn’t selfish—it’s the foundation for unapologetic, aligned goals.

Ever set a goal and thought, Can I actually do this? You plan, you prepare, but somewhere between the excitement and execution, that quiet self-doubt sneaks in. In this episode, I break down what self-efficacy really is—your belief in your ability to make things happen—and why so many high-achieving women struggle with it.

I share with you the four biggest blocks to self-efficacy (from perfectionism to compassion fatigue) and why rebuilding belief in yourself isn’t about working harder, it’s about working with more self-trust. You’ll also learn how something as simple as a goal planner can retrain your brain to expect small wins, track real progress, and recover from setbacks faster.

If you’ve been feeling stuck or second-guessing yourself, this one’s your reminder: confidence comes from action. Your planner isn’t just a productivity tool. It’s proof of your power.

I’ve been sitting with this question lately. Does this increase your capacity to love? In today’s episode, I’m joined by global leadership expert and author Marcel Schwantes, whose new book Humane Leadership: Lead with Radical Love, Be a Kickass Boss is changing the way we think about leadership. We talk about what it really means to lead with love through patience, humility, trust, and kindness, and how that transforms not just your work, but your life.

Marcel shares his powerful story of going from burnout to breakthrough and breaks down his five pillars of “loving leadership.” We dive into why kindness isn’t about being nice, how trust grows when it’s given first, and how compassion creates high-performing teams.

If you’ve ever wondered how to lead with heart without losing your edge, this conversation will fill your cup. Let’s talk about what it means to bring radical love into the way we lead, live, and show up for others.
