This is one of the boldest and most vulnerable conversations I’ve had on the podcast. In this episode, I pull back the curtain on my personal experiences navigating business, mentorship, and the hidden dangers women often face when working with men in positions of power. From mentorship offers that turned into manipulation, to moments where I felt completely unsafe, I share the unfiltered stories I’ve never told publicly—along with the lessons I’ve learned about boundaries, discernment, and reclaiming your power. If you’ve ever experienced unwanted advances in professional settings, doubted your own instincts, or carried shame after being manipulated, this episode is for you. My hope is that my stories give you tools, awareness, and the validation to trust your intuition and protect your energy without apology.
