Having Beverly Hallberg of District Media Group join me for the inaugural episode of the Leadership Style Power podcast is especially fitting since such a big piece of the intention behind this podcast is to inspire and empower women of all ages, all backgrounds and all levels of leadership to step UP as leaders.

A KEY piece to this is visibility — the willingness to be seen so that your message is heard.

It’s time to stop playing small. It’s time to end the Style Shame.

Like many women, I’ve been bullied and shamed.

Growing up, I was targeted by one of my best friends and ousted from our friend group. It turned out to be jealousy in part because of how I looked (let’s be clear — I was not one of the popular girls or even trying to stand out at that time).

She has such a refreshing approach to MONEY — which can be as shameful of a topic as style. (Shouldn’t we know how to manage our money, update our closet, etc.?)

Last night the Canadian Embassy in D.C. hosted a non-partisan event to highlight and celebrate the new members of Congress. The large room was FULL of women and a few good men excited to welcome the new women.

I love being in a room of diverse women to take in how each one of them shows up in style.

It’s a bit odd being here in DC today.

Though my own views tend to be pretty bi-partisan to vary by policy, not necessarily party, and I aim to stay pretty non-partisan because I want women rising up as leaders on both sides of the aisle, this post is slightly less non-partisan. To that effect, whether you voted for Trump or not, whether you support him or not, I ask that you keep an open mind.
