[THE POWER PULSE] Let’s Retire the Word “Lucky” from Your Vocabulary
Hey, Powerhouse, I was talking to a client the other day, and she said something that stopped me in my tracks: “I was lucky to get this opportunity.” And I had to pause her. You weren’t lucky. You were prepared. You delivered. You positioned yourself. Here’s what happens when you say “I got lucky” instead of “I earned this”: ❌ You shrink your own power.❌ You make your success sound accidental.❌ You minimize your expertise and effort. Instead, say: 🔥 I was the right person for this because I...
READ POST[THE POWER PULSE] The Real Reason You’re Exhausted (It’s Not Your Workload)
Hey, Powerhouse, You’ve probably heard people say, “I’m just burnt out.” Maybe you’ve said it too. But here’s the truth: Most people aren’t burnt out from working too hard. They’re burnt out from over-giving, under-earning, and staying stuck in the wrong rooms. 🔥 Burnout happens when you’re carrying more responsibility than authority. 🔥 Burnout happens when you’re doing high-level work without high-level pay. 🔥 Burnout happens when your work doesn’t align with your values and strengths....
READ POST[THE POWER PULSE] The High-Achiever’s Trap: Why Over-Delivering Won’t Get You Promoted
Hey Powerhouse, I used to think the key to success was simple: Work hard. Deliver results. Get promoted. Except that’s not how it works. If it were, the hardest-working people would be at the top. But look around—how many people do you know who are overworked but under-recognized? Here’s why: Being great at your job isn’t enough. If you’re always the go-to person—the one they can count on to fix things, stay late, and “just handle it”—you become too valuable in your role to be moved up. They...
READ POST[THE POWER PULSE] Finding Your Voice & What You Deserve (Yes, Even When Life is Chaotic)
Hey, Powerhouse, Whew! I won’t lie—I’m in the middle of a move, and it threw my schedule for a loop. If you noticed I missed an issue yesterday, that’s why. Life has been lifing, but here’s the thing: Even in chaos, we still show up for what matters. And that brings me to today’s topic—navigating your voice and what you deserve. I’ve worked with so many high-achieving women in corporate who are phenomenal at advocating for others but struggle to speak up for themselves. I’ve been there too....
READ POST[THE POWER PULSE] THE MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE AREN'T ALWAYS THE HIGHEST-RANKING
Hey there, Powerhouse, In corporate, title doesn’t equal power—INFLUENCE does. You’ve seen it: Some people hold high-ranking positions but have zero pull, while others (even without senior roles) command attention, drive change, and get buy-in effortlessly. That’s because influence is the real currency of leadership. And the people who master it? They move up faster, get more opportunities, and shape decisions—without waiting for a promotion. How to Build Undeniable Influence: Empathy Is Your...

Hi Powerhouse, Too many high-achieving women in corporate burn out chasing success because they believe they have to choose between ambition and well-being. That’s a lie. You don’t have to grind yourself into exhaustion to win. You just need a better strategy—one that positions you for success without sacrificing your peace. Here’s how to advance without burning out: Detach Your Identity From Your Job Title.Your job is what you do, not who you are. The moment you internalize this, you stop...
READ POST[THE POWER PULSE] IF YOU'RE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP IN MEETINGS, READ THIS
Hey Powerhouse, Let’s be real—speaking up in corporate isn’t just about confidence, it’s about strategy. The way you communicate determines whether you’re overlooked or seen as a leader. There are three levels of speaking up in the workplace: Level 1: Contributor (Most People Stay Here) You answer questions when asked. You participate, but mostly react instead of leading. Your input is solid, but doesn’t shift the direction of discussions. The Problem? Contributors are replaceable. If you’re...

The Power Pulse Why You’re Playing Small Without Realizing It... ↓ Hey there, Powerhouse, Let me be honest—being humble is overrated in corporate America. I used to believe that my work would speak for itself. That if I just stayed consistent, someone would notice. I waited for opportunities to come to me, and while I waited, others who were no more qualified walked right past me. The truth is, your work doesn’t speak for itself. You do. Playing small might feel safe, but it’s holding you...

So why do you feel like you’re spinning your wheels instead of climbing the ladder? Powerhouse, here’s what no one tells you: Working harder doesn’t create momentum. It creates exhaustion.
