Ditching the Shoulds and Owning Your Power with Michelle Pollack

What happens when you chase society’s version of success—only to find yourself burnt out, boxed in, and wondering, “Is this it?” In this audacious episode of The Communication Queens Podcast, Kimberly Spencer chats with powerhouse coach Michelle Pollack, whose mission is to help high-achieving women redefine success from the inside out.

From working with brands like Netflix and Bank of America to guiding visionary women leaders, Michelle shares her journey of shaking off the “shoulds,” surrendering perfection, and embracing the beautiful discomfort of beginning again. You’ll hear how motherhood, layoffs, and her own inner work cracked open her next level of purpose—and how allowing herself to take one small step at a time led to a multi-six-figure empire grounded in authenticity.

We go deep into the cultural conditioning that keeps women playing small, the truth about imposter syndrome (hint: it’s not a bug—it’s a signal), and how to balance masculine drive with feminine intuition in leadership.

Expect bold truth bombs, heartfelt storytelling, and the kind of clarity that lights a fire in your belly. This isn’t about chasing success—it’s about becoming the woman who defines it for herself.
