We’re back to weekly episodes, and this one is packed! From my first-ever brand integration (huge milestone!) to a whirlwind month in LA, NYC for Moroccanoil, and a family vacay in the Dominican Republic—it's been a ride.
But let’s talk about the viral moment: Timothée Chalamet’s SAG Awards speech—"I want to be one of the greats." It was raw, ambitious, and electric. But if a woman had said it? The internet reaction would’ve been… different.
This week, we're breaking down the double standard of boldness. Why are men celebrated for being audacious while women are expected to be palatable? From Hollywood to digital creators, the pressure on women to be likable shapes everything—from how we negotiate brand deals to how we show up online.
Plus, I’m sharing three power moves women can borrow from men to own their confidence without apology:
💡 Stop chasing likability—aim for respect.
💡 Speak with authority—no more self-deprecating intros.
💡 Be direct in digital & influencer culture—negotiating, pivoting, and showing up like you belong.
Because at the end of the day, “acting like a man” is really just acting like you deserve to be here. And guess what? You do. 🎙✨
