4. Executive Women and Moms: Leading & Living Authentically Without the Cape

No Cape Required

In this interview, Jessica Nunez and I have a great discussion on the Superwoman archetype and its impact on women's personal and professional lives. There are societal pressures for women to excel in every aspect of life without dropping any plates. This contributes to a culture of busyness that is pervasive; however, being busy does not equal success.

• Key Takeaways:
  • Embrace vulnerability to establish trust and authenticity.
  • Set boundaries and communicate expectations to maintain balance.
  • Practice self-accountability and say no when necessary.
  • Strive for an integrated life to live authentically and without the need for a metaphorical cape.
  • Core Values and Authenticity: Knowing and living personal and professional values to maintain authenticity. This simple exercise to ihelps to dentify core values and align actions accordingly.

Values Exercise
1. Write down the names of 3-5 people that you send the most time with.
2. Write 3-5 things you love about each person. These are things you truly appreciate and value about them.
3. No, look for themes and look for common denominators. Different words can mean the same thing (ex. funny, joking, laughter, etc.)
4. Narrow down the list to 3 core values. These are the things you want to say yes to.
