EP 85: Taking Up space and Leading with Strength with Krisitin Gringrich

Welcome to a brand new episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast. Today, we dive deep into the balance of kindness and assertiveness in leadership with our special guest, Kristin Gingrich. As a licensed therapist, clinical social worker, certified alcohol and drug counselor, and influential content creator, Kristen brings a wealth of experience and authenticity to the conversation.

We discuss the societal pressures women face to be neither "too much" nor "not enough," and the challenge of being labeled "bossy" for exhibiting effective leadership traits. We explore the importance of self-regulation, accountability, and the power of self-awareness in both personal and professional realms. 

Join us as we unpack the multifaceted nature of being "bossy," redefine what it means to lead with strength and empathy, and empower women to unapologetically take up space and embrace their true selves. 

Key Takeaways:

• Using platforms for mental health advocacy and expressing authenticity.
• Posting content that can handle criticism, balancing public and personal life.
• Encouraging women to assert their voices and embrace their power.
