We’re turning up the volume! Loud & Lifted is now launching a monthly, in-person circle for real support, practical strategy, and forward momentum. Leading is heavy, and women are often carrying the job and the emotional labor without enough support. This is your monthly reset: perspective, strategy, and encouragement with women who get it. You’ll leave every meeting with one clear action, and a circle of peers who help you follow through. What You'll Get A small, trusted group of women...

Intuition, Precision, and Cutting Through the Noise Hey friends— Through the first year of Loud & Lifted, we’ve lived in the “professional development” lane. Which I love. Give me the frameworks, the tools, the assessments, the action plans. But if I’m being honest… I’ve always had one foot in the holistic, spiritual side too. I do yoga.

Issue #2 Be Likeable and a Badass Some people are wired to chase approval at work. Others, aren't. I’m social. I’m friendly. I genuinely like people. But I’ve always been pretty direct — and as my roles got bigger, I learned there’s a tightrope to walk: How do you stay warm and real… while also being taken seriously, trusted, and followed? Not “toning it down.” Not “hardening up.” Just getting intentional about how you show up. That’s why I loved my conversation with Dr. Alison Fragale about...

Issue #1 Toxic Bosses: 3 Types, 3 Survival Moves Hello Reader, Happy New Year! Yes, it’s a fresh start, a reset, a clean slate… but we’re going to skip the “new year, new you” lecture. Instead, we’re talking about something that quietly ruins weekends, holidays, and sleep: toxic bosses. Because sometimes you love your job — even the company — and then your boss shows up and your eye starts twitching. (Also: hopefully you aren’t one. If you are… consider this your gentle warning label.) The 3...
