This episode of Tearin’ Up My Heart is a fiery, honest look at what it means to embrace your feminine power while defying the traditional roles that try to box us in. Our guest, Cynthia Hara, is a tech leader, nonprofit founder, mentor, and connector who brings passion, energy, and emotional intelligence to every room she walks into. From boardrooms to mentoring circles, Cynthia breaks down how she’s navigated being “the only woman in the room” without compromising her confidence—or her kindness. She shares practical tools for reading the room, building alliances, and showing up fully as a woman in leadership. Plus, we unpack how to uplift other women along the way, instead of competing for the same space. This one’s for every woman who's ever been underestimated—and chose to rise anyway.
