209: The Hidden Cost of Doing it Alone with Dr. Erica Howe

In this first episode of a new three-part series, I'm joined by Dr. Erica Howe to talk about the real power of community for high-achieving women. This conversation explores why so many professional women carry the badge of doing everything on their own—and what becomes possible when you step into a room where honesty, strategy, and shared experience replace isolation.

We talk about the small conversations that can shift your perspective, why community is more than just support, and how the right environment can spark the courage to change something in your career or life.
