You matter. 
Especially during difficult events: 

  • Choosing to bravely recognize and believe in your inherent worth is brave. 
  • Deciding that your voice deserves to be heard, that your dreams, goals, career, relationships, and money matter is brave. 
  • Getting and staying involved in building the community, career, life, and world you desire is brave.

This week I address the emotional fallout after the most recent US elections. This is a dedicated brave space for women in tech who are grappling with emotions ranging from sadness to anger, fear, and betrayal. Wherever you are, know that your feelings are valid and that you matter.

I share some of two of the quotes helping me through this time: 

  • “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.” -Star Trek
  •  “I never lose. I either win or I learn.” -Nelson Mandela

I also share a small slice of how my family's past drives my commitment to making brave choices for a better future.


This episode is a powerful reminder to embrace your inherent worth, your right to feel, and your right to take up space in the world. 


Remember: you matter.
