My Boss Is A BITCH with Marcy Moriconi

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Together, they unpack the invisible expectations placed on women in leadership, the unspoken patterns we inherit from outdated systems, and the real emotional toll of navigating power as a woman.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.
