It's just honest. For anyone who's done performing and ready to start creating from their own center.Topics include: leadership, identity, self-trust, navigating organizational culture, perception, permission, creativity as practice, neurodivergence, AI and the future of work, and what it actually looks like to lead as a full human being.New episodes biweekly.

    Ep 1. Perception is the Thief of Joy...and Progress

    Episode 1: Perception Is the Thief of Joy... and ProgressYou know the voice. The one that says "what will they think?" before you've even opened your mouth. It's the reason you edit yourself in meetings, overthink what to wear, and build entire narratives about people who haven't said a word to you. Perception isn't just uncomfortable — it's expensive. It costs you ideas, confidence, and time you'll never get back.In this episode, Renita breaks down why we scan, why we perform, and why "just stop caring what people think" has never worked for anyone. Plus, the yellow blazer story that took an embarrassing number of years to resolve.
