Have you ever announced a change at work - a new structure, a new tool, or a shift in priorities - and been stunned by the unexpected emotional reactions?
If you’ve found yourself wondering, “Why are my team members so upset?” or “What did I do wrong?“, this is for you.
In this episode, we dig beneath the surface of change management to uncover how trauma triggers and deep-seated fears - like abandonment, conflict, or mistrust - can unexpectedly show up when change is announced. I’ll share insights on why certain reactions feel out of proportion, why your biggest supporters might suddenly check out, and how you as a leader can recognize what’s really going on (without turning into a psychoanalyst). You’ll learn practical approaches for navigating emotional tidal waves, supporting your team, and staying centered and powerful as a woman leader - no matter what reactions come your way.

Ever found yourself exasperated, asking, “Why is this change taking so long?” Whether you’re 10 months into a 6-month project or struggling to see your team embrace a new organizational structure, you’re not alone. Leading transformation - especially at scale - never unfolds as neatly as your strategic project plan.
In this episode, I break down the hidden factors behind slow-moving change initiatives, from the non-linear nature of change, to the cycles and emotional layers teams experience beneath the surface.
We’ll discuss the varied speed of change acceptance, why linear plans often collide with the layered processing of transitions that people experience, and the underestimated impact of company culture, tradition, and structure. Before you move on to swap tools or leaders, listen to this episode.

Ever rolled out a major change - maybe a new tool, process, or entire transformation - and wondered, “Why hasn’t my team caught on yet? Did I do something wrong?”
As leaders, it’s easy to worry that slow adaptation or bumpy transitions mean there’s something broken with your team (or worse, with you). But what if those hiccups are simply part of natural change dynamics?
In this empowering episode, I break down what’s really happening when teams struggle to integrate change.
You’ll learn why your team’s adjustment is not a sign of weakness, but a normal - and even expected - part of transformation.
I’ll walk you through the change journey from the leader’s perspective, explain why team members process change differently, and reveal how you can support your people so that the “new way” comes to life for everyone.
If you’re leading through digital transformation, restructuring, organizational development, or any big change and feeling stuck (or blaming yourself), this episode will reframe your perspective.

In over 15 years of leading complex change projects, I’ve learned that real progress hinges on one thing: clear, actionable goals. But what actually turns a vision or ambition into a goal that drives results for your team?
In this episode, I’ll share how to craft strong, effective goals for your leadership and change initiatives. We’ll explore the crucial differences between visions and goals, break down outcome versus process goals, and dig into the must-have ingredients every “real” goal needs—what, who, and when.
I give practical strategies, examples (including my infamous “Go Live in September” story!), and the importance of making sure everyone’s on the same page, preventing costly misunderstandings and driving accountability.

Ever heard the phrase, “It’s lonely at the top”?
This leadership myth has discouraged countless women from pursuing senior roles, planting seeds of doubt and fear about isolation, responsibility, and what it really takes to lead. Is leadership truly a solitary journey—or is this just another outdated narrative?
In today’s episode of A Woman’s Project, I dive deep into the roots of the “lonely leader” myth: how it’s been shaped by history, culture, and a lack of female role models. I explore why so many women feel apprehensive about moving up, and unpack the mind-trap that keeps you stuck in trying to do it all on your own.
What you need as a senior leader is a support system - both inside and outside your organization, to bolster you and help you thrive at the top.
If you’re navigating the loneliness of leadership, or battling inner voices telling you that you’re all alone on this path, this episode will help you reflect on what you truly need to succeed, and how to stay grounded in your power.

Have you ever felt the weight of thinking that you’re supposed to have all the answers? You’re not alone. The myth of the “know-it-all leader” is one of the biggest traps holding women (and men) back from truly impactful leadership.
In this episode, we unpack the classic leadership saying, “A leader knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way”—and why it’s not only outdated, but deeply unrealistic in today’s world of complexity and constant change. I’ll guide you through what really matters when leading through uncertainty, how to find your inner compass, and practical strategies to release the pressure of always “knowing.”

Have you ever felt like you don’t have that mysterious “something” leaders are supposed to have? The world keeps telling ambitious women that great leaders must be charismatic, magnetic, and born with natural authority. But is that true—or just another myth holding you back?

Join me as I expose outdated leadership stereotypes, help you recognize your own unique brand of charisma, and show you why being true to yourself is your real leadership superpower.
