S3Ep128: The Courage to Leap: Redefining Women’s Leadership with Kara Brothers, President of Starface

Kara Brothers knows what it’s like to follow the “right” path and to realize it’s not the right path for you at all. She had the title, the salary, and the security. What she didn’t have was excitement for what came next. So Kara did something women are so often told not to do. She walked away from stability into uncertainty.

For women, that leap isn’t just about business. It’s about rewriting the rules. Kara’s story is proof that you can build massive growth and create a workplace that values people, families, and joy. Because when women lead differently, companies don’t just make more money. They make more sense.

Key Takeaways:

• Why betting on yourself is worth the uncertainty
• How to create a culture that supports high performance and well-being
• The underestimated power of asking for help
• Building a career you own instead of one that owns you
• The business case for joy
