No Subtext, Just Truth: Fat Bias, F-Bombs & Fixing Leadership Culture with Spitfire Coach
🎙️ What does it really mean to lead without subtext?
In this episode of the Spitfire Podcast, I open up about why clear, assertive communication is one of the most misunderstood leadership tools—and why so many people still expect feedback to come wrapped in passive-aggression and coded language. 💬🚫
But that’s just one part of the conversation.
Host Lauren and I also unpack the deeper issues:
👉 The unspoken fat bias that still shapes media and workspaces
👉 The myth of traditional mentorship
👉 And the real power of showing up messy, bold, and ready to solve problems—not just perform perfection 💥
It’s raw, unfiltered, and filled with the kind of honesty that rarely makes it past the edit. There are F-bombs. There are water buffalo. And there’s a whole lot of truth about what it takes to lead with integrity. 🐃🔥

Growing Your Bad-Assery 💥
✨ Ready to grow your badassery and own your next move?
If you're navigating a career pivot, recovering from a layoff, or feeling invisible in your current role, this blog is for you. I share insights from a recent talk I gave on self-promotion and professional reinvention, especially for those in mid-career transitions or looking to break into a new industry.
We dive into the real talk: the frustration, the fear, and the pressure to constantly “reinvent” ourselves, especially if you're Gen X or a woman who’s done shrinking to fit. 💼
This isn’t a generic pep talk—it’s about reclaiming your confidence, highlighting your real accomplishments, and learning how to show up unapologetically. You’ll find encouragement, practical steps, and maybe a little kick in the ass to help you realize: you’re already a badass. Now it’s time to own it. 🚀
