In this powerful conversation with business psychologist Andrea Levinson, we explore what it really means to lead with authenticity, especially as a woman in today’s workplaces. Andrea shares why hustle culture often disconnects us from our true selves, how the pressure to conform impacts leadership presence, and why embracing flexibility doesn’t mean abandoning authenticity. We also unpack the "authority gap," the hidden cost of performance personas, and how experimentation can be a powerful tool for evolving your leadership style. If you've ever felt like you're constantly performing or struggling with the "shoulds" of leadership, this episode will leave you feeling seen and inspired to lead more intentionally, on your terms.
