Balance is Bullsh*t: The Real Stories of Blending Motherhood & Career

This conversation made me feel seen and hopeful and reinforced how critical it is to show up authentically, own my vision, and say it out loud. It was a stark reminder that the right decision in work and in life can make someone else uncomfortable. We need not shy away from those moments. We need to get confident making others uncomfortable—not only for ourselves but also as an example for the bossy girls we are so proudly raising.

Debra is a consultant, turned revenue leader, and newly turned stealth startup CEO. Her advice comes from her lived experience. What she shares today she needed to hear herself a few years back.

'Don't wait for confidence or comfort to feel capable."

She knew in her gut that she was ready to be a CEO a few years back, but she was telling herself lies like' my resume is not quite ready yet' and letting those voices keep her from claiming her path - out loud and unapologetically.

This concept has so much depth. You'll want to hear it for yourself.
