What if the courage you're avoiding is the key to everything you're chasing?

In this episode, Julie Hyde unpacks the one shift that’s no longer optional for leaders—especially high-performing women who still feel unseen, stuck, or burnt out despite all they’re doing.

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about showing up differently with courage, clarity, and intention.

Julie shares the real cost of playing small (spoiler: it’s not just your confidence - it’s your legacy), and offers a powerful reframe on what it means to lead now. If you’ve ever felt like you’re waiting for permission, this is your wake-up call.

Drawing from her personal story—walking away from corporate, reshaping her business, and facing down cancer—Julie reveals how courage became her through line. And how it can be yours too.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why courage, not confidence, is the new standard of leadership
The silent cost of staying in misaligned roles and relationships
How to recognise where you’re still waiting for permission
3 small but bold moves you can take today to lead and live with intention
