#141 | The Power of "Being Audacious" W/ Dethra Giles

What does it really mean to be audacious, not loud, not reckless, but boldly rooted in purpose? In this episode, I sit down with Dethra Giles for a powerful conversation about reclaiming your voice, standing firmly in your value, and making courageous moves even when fear, doubt, or systems try to keep you small. Dethra breaks down why audacity isn’t arrogance, it’s alignment and how leaders, especially mission-driven leaders, must stop waiting for permission to lead fully. We explore what it looks like to show up unapologetically, advocate for yourself and others, and make decisions that honor your calling, not just your comfort. This episode is a reminder that the impact you’re meant to make often lives on the other side of bold action. If you’ve been playing safe, shrinking your vision, or second-guessing your worth, this conversation is for you.
