2026 got a lot of us reflecting — on success, leadership, and career growth… and on what nobody told us when we were grinding to “make it.”

Episode 1: Origin Story

In this episode, I break down:
• Why the corporate “playbook” and real life don’t match
• Why being high-performing still gets you misread + misled
• How 2020 forced a corporate “recalibration”… and what it actually revealed
• The truth: inclusion usually stops where power begins
• Why silence benefits the people who leverage it — and why I’m done participating

This isn’t gossip.
This isn’t clickbait.

It’s lived experience — especially for people navigating leadership and corporate life outside the status quo.

Watch this if you’ve ever felt gaslit, stalled, or like “if I just knew ONE thing…”

What’s something you wish somebody told you about leadership — or before you stepped into it?
