Life will always throw you curveballs. And as a CEO, a wife, a momma, a visible leader etc., it's important to not only show up for the ones you serve, but most importantly, to show up for yourself. In this episode of Unapologetically Visible, I discuss the challenges of maintaining visibility and leadership during difficult times. I'm sharing personal experiences, particularly the unexpected layoff of my husband, Pete, and how it impacted our life and my business. I also emphasize the importance of showing up authentically, even when life gets tough, and will provide you with practical strategies for sustainable visibility. The episode concludes with a grounding practice to help you reconnect with yourself and your purpose.
