EP 195 - How Mindset and Resilience Empower Women to Lead, With Dr. Amy Athey

Welcome to another episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast. In this episode I am joined by the formidable Dr. Amy Athey, a sport and performance psychologist with over 25 years of experience working with high performers in sports, military, and business. Dr. Amy shares her journey from being a collegiate All-American basketball player to helping organizations and individuals build resilience, enhance wellness, and unlock their highest potential.

Together, Dr. Amy and I dive deep into what it means to be labeled “bossy” versus being recognized as a leader, reflecting on generational shifts, cultural expectations, and the power of reframing. We talk about women supporting women, the challenges of leadership in male-dominated industries, and the critical importance of community, mindset, and reflection for high-achieving women.  Whether you’re an entrepreneur, climbing the corporate ladder, or seeking more from your career and life, this episode is filled with wisdom on embracing your ambition, fostering authentic connection, and leading bravely—even when labeled “too much.” Tune in and get inspired to own your power, support your community, and redefine what it means to be bossy

Key Takeaways:

• Importance of mindset, resilience, and beliefs for high achievement and effective leadership.
• Discussion of generational shifts in labeling female leadership traits.
• Importance of community for high performing women seeking “more.”

Episode Quote

• “I find the women actually end up being less threatened because they already have a seat at the table, maybe they are looking to lift and propel up. A lot of times men can be a little bit more hesitant or guarded because they view it as immediate competition." - Dr Amy Athey
