Why are women in leadership still labeled “bitches”—and what does that reveal about the systems we work in?
 
In this bold and honest episode, Amy welcomes executive coach and author Marcy Moriconi to unpack the real message behind her book My Boss Is a Bitch: Changing the Paradigm of Female Leadership.
 
Together, they unpack the invisible expectations placed on women in leadership, the unspoken patterns we inherit from outdated systems, and the real emotional toll of navigating power as a woman. Marcy shares vivid stories of 'bad apples' and 'good eggs'—and what it looks like to lead with presence, integrity, and the courage to break the mold.

Key Takeaways:
  • The phrase “my boss is a bitch” is a symptom of deeper systemic issues—not personal failings
  • Women in leadership often feel pressure to be liked instead of respected
  • Toxic leadership models get passed down when we don’t pause to question them
  • True leadership is grounded in calmness, clarity, and emotional trust
  • We don’t have to lead the way, it’s always been done—we get to choose differently
