I’m Not Bossy, I Have Leadership Skills …Understand?

December 01, 20153 min read

Have you ever been in a group and immediately thought,
“Okay… I’ll be in charge” 😏

Are you the one who always has the plan, the opinion, or the solution?
Do people come to you for advice on literally everything?
Do you get that look when someone says something that makes absolutely no sense?

If so… I NEED YOU.

You’ve probably heard my story. Losing over 110 pounds. Walking through deep depression. Picking myself up after divorce. Rebuilding my life from the ground up after hitting rock bottom financially.

And yes, I talk a lot about how insecure I was. How afraid. How quiet I became for a long time. All of that is true.

But here’s the thing…

Even then, I was still a leader.

When I spoke, people listened.
When we worked in groups, I somehow ended up running things.
When there were rules to be made, I made them.
If we were playing Monopoly, I was the banker or I wasn’t playing. Period.

I was that kid.
The “bossy” one.
The one who knew things and wasn’t afraid to say it.

I wanted to be liked, so sometimes I made choices that didn’t fully honor who I was. But if trouble showed up, I probably wasn’t following it… I was leading it 😅

I’m the friend who will absolutely speak up if someone is being disrespected.
I will argue my point if something isn’t right.
I know every good nail salon in town and I will gladly tell you which ones to avoid.
And yes, my poor mom learned early on that if she said no, I would simply… present my case until she reconsidered.

Anyone who has dated me knows that look in this picture 😏

I always have a tip, a shortcut, a resource, or some “helpful” unsolicited advice ready to go.

And you know what?
That’s not a flaw.

That’s leadership.

If any part of this sounds like you, I want you to hear this clearly:
YOU are a leader. Whether you realize it yet or not.

For way too long, strong women have been told to quiet down, soften their edges, and stop being “so much.” We’re labeled bossy, dramatic, or difficult when in reality, we’re decisive, intuitive, and capable.

Reasonable people don’t change the world.
Leaders do.

You have influence. You have a voice. And you have the ability to create real change, not just for yourself, but for the people watching you.

I didn’t fully see my own potential until someone else helped me see it. Until I had mentors and a community that encouraged me to step into who I already was, instead of shrinking myself to fit in.

If you feel that pull… that nudge that says you’re meant for more… you’re probably right.

And I’d love to help you step into it.

I’m looking for a small group of strong, heart-led women who are ready to grow, lead, and create impact together. Women who are done playing small and ready to use their voice for something bigger.

If that sounds like you, email me at [email protected] and let’s talk.

Because BOSSY is not a bad word.
It’s just leadership before the world is ready for it. 💁‍♀️✨
