Show the F Up & Win: Intentional Networking + Queen Energy with Aria Leighty

What if the key to unlocking your next level of impact, income, and influence wasn’t the perfect pitch, the polished funnel, or the “professional” mask… but simply showing the f* up**?

In this unapologetically raw and empowering episode of Communication Queens, host Kimberly Spencer sits down with networking queen Aria Leighty, whose superpower is building intentional, transformational connections. Together, they unpack why 80% of success really is just showing up, how our glitter, shoes, and statement pieces can be business cards, and why authenticity always beats the buttoned-up version of “professional.”

Aria shares her three golden principles—listen, give a shit, and follow through—and how these deceptively simple practices make you the richest person in the room. From redefining networking as relationship-building (not sales!) to breaking free from the toxic hustle of vanity metrics, Aria reveals how community—not just audience—creates sustainable success.

Whether you’re a podcaster, coach, entrepreneur, or visionary ready to disrupt the “quiet, good girl” conditioning, this conversation will light a fire under your stilettos and remind you that your story, your voice, and your presence are your most powerful assets.

This isn’t just a chat about networking—it’s a masterclass in owning your audacity and building a business rooted in authenticity, connection, and impact.
