A Rallying Cry for Women Done Playing Small

For too long, you’ve been told to tone it down. To smile more. To not rock the boat.

You’ve twisted yourself into versions of who you thought you had to be at work, at home, in every room—just to keep the peace.

But what if the very voice you’ve been muting is the voice that could change everything?

This is your wake-up call. Your permission slip to speak up.

Because you’re meant to be heard—in meetings, in relationships, in every room you enter.

This Is What It Means to Be Unabashed

I created Unabashed for the woman who’s exhausted from whispering.

For the woman who’s done watching less qualified people get ahead while she perfects being "nice."

For the woman who habitually says "sorry" before every sentence and "just wondering" before every brilliant idea.

For the woman who knows she deserves more but just doesn't know how to ask for it.

This isn’t a space for finding your voice. You’ve always had it. This is a space for honing how to use it.

A Community of Women Who Get It

Unabashed isn’t just my voice—it's ours.

A community of women of all ages, supporting each other as we reclaim, refine and raise our voices to:

  • Ask for the raise (and get it)

  • Set boundaries with family (without the guilt)

  • Speak up in meetings (without apologizing first)

  • Say no to extra work (that’s not even yours)

  • Advocate for what we need (at home and at work)

  • Take credit for our ideas (finally)

This is our space, built on the belief that confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build, one conversation, situation at a time.

Here’s What I Know

After years of learning to speak up (the hard way) and helping hundreds of women do the same, I’ve learned:

  • Your needs aren’t needy.
    They’re necessary

  • Your boundaries aren’t bitchy.
    They’re brilliant

  • Your ambition isn’t aggressive.
    It’s appropriate

  • Your voice isn’t too much.
    It’s exactly enough

  • You don’t need to earn the right to be heard.
    You already have it

Why Now?

Because life is too short to play small.

You’ve spent years being the reliable one. The easy-going one. The one who doesn’t make waves.

Meanwhile, you watch others—with half your talent and twice your confidence—get exactly what they want. Not because they’re better. Because they ask.

It’s time to start being your own best advocate.

Is This You?

  • You rehearse conversations in your head but lose your nerve in the moment

  • You say “yes” when you mean “no” and beat yourself up for it

  • You’re the office therapist, family mediator and default problem-solver

  • You’re brilliant at advocating for others but struggle to advocate for yourself

  • You know you’re underpaid but can’t imagine asking for more

  • You’re tired of shrinking to make others comfortable

Then welcome. You’re home.
