Bravery doesn’t have to be hard. In fact, bravery in your career as a woman in tech can be simple, nurturing, collaborative, and even easy.
For women in tech who often feel that being brave at work means facing monumental stress, this episode will give you a fresh and empowering perspective.
Through two unique client stories, I illustrate how bravery may start in moments of discomfort but end with greater confidence, ease, and more personal and professional growth.
Bravery can include speaking up in meetings, asking more questions, setting boundaries, and expecting you get the respect, visibility, and pay you deserve.
This episode serves as a guide for you to redefine bravery in a modern, holistic way, and taking action that brings you closer to your goals and dreams.

Let’s explore the profound impact fairy tales have had on our professional lives, especially as women in tech. Most of us have grown up with stories of women waiting for their Prince Charming or Knight in Shining Armor. While most of us have shed this mentality in our personal lives, its residual effects can still hold us back in our careers as we wait for the perfect boss, recruiter, mentor, or sponsor.
I delve into my own experience of waiting for a "professional prince charming" which led to a stagnating project and career slow down. As you listen reflect on your own career: are you waiting for someone to notice you, promote you, or solve your problems?
The key takeaway is that you are in control of your professional journey. Whether it’s setting boundaries, investing in yourself, or creating opportunities, it's up to you to stop waiting and start taking decisive action.

Listener question: I know I'm a direct person, but I'm being told I'm aggressive. How do I know the difference?
First, you need to ask for specific examples of situations in which you were labeled “aggressive.” Then, you need to explore what type of discomfort you want to choose: shifting your communication or allowing others to feel discomfort.

Listener Question: Is it ethical for me to accept a job that's one or two layers below the job I had before all of the layoffs when so many other people are also struggling to land a job?

I returned to Yo Canny’s podcast Girl, Take the Lead to discuss the book Quit, The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away, by Annie Duke.
Yo and I covered a lot of powerful topics about quitting, so our conversation is available in two parts.
Feedback was so positive and powerful that we released these two episodes on the Build Your Brave Career podcast feed as well.
Rethinking Grit: Embracing the Quit with Nicole Trick Steinbach PART 1 of 2
Yo and I explored these themes:
The difference (and overlap) of Grit vs QuitHow intersectional identities impact Quit vs GritWhen women stay too long and a simple scale to identify if it is time for you too move onThe metaphor of ‘Whispers, Missals, & Bricks’ of being called to change The transformative power of the mindset “At the Moment Manager”Rethinking Grit: Embracing the Quit with Nicole Trick Steinbach PART 2 of 2
Yo and I explored these themes:
Goals and outcomes, and how generations do it differentlySunday Scaries and choosing to stress lessHow I am a sorta “Quit Coach”What kill criteria is and a story from my clientYo’s amazing quote of being “In Love with my own Self-Importance”Choosing the battles worth having for the growth you wantThe infamous “Ant Story”Yo’s top three takeaways are:
In our culture we see grit as a virtue and quit as a vice. Per Annie Duke: “Success does not lie in sticking to things. It lies in picking the right thing to stick to and quitting the rest.”Any decision is made under some degree of uncertainty – we don’t have crystal balls and new information will always reveal itself.External validation increases the escalation of commitment. Fear of how others will view us if we quit is usually overblown.My key takeaway is how important building the bravery to establish and then craft the habit of quitting -- places, relationships, habits, and jobs -- as a woman in tech is to ensuring that you never, ever quit yourself. Ever.

During the summer of 2024, I am re-running the most popular client conversations based on downloads, shares, and direct feedback. Make sure to catch a career update at the end of each episode.
Caroline Santinelli, a former teacher and now woman in tech, shares her brave career story of – as Brene Brown says – choosing to ‘belong to herself first.’
Caroline’s story includes moving from burnout-driven medical leave as a teacher, to embracing her innate strengths, choosing her health, and allowing her brave career to move through different phases.
At the start of her career transformation, Caroline lost her voice (for real) due to stress, experienced her first panic attack, developed insomnia, kept getting sick with aches and fevers, and finally began having significant nerve pains.
Caroline shares how she chose messy, deeply personal work of building her brave, searching out support from professionals. Her first significant step was giving herself permission to take medical leave. Then, over many weeks, she slowly gave herself permission to belong to herself and choose her innate talents. The next big step was allowing others to be disappointed.
If you’re ready to learn how to belong to yourself, embrace your innate talents, and break free of the rules and judgments holding you back, this is your episode.
