Navigating Identity and Engagement

This episode is deeply personal. I open up about the recent passing of my longtime mentor and friend, Bob, and what he taught me about legacy, leadership, and living with intention. I’m also joined by TV personality, educator, commentator, and Real Housewife Dr. Wendy Osefo. She shares how she navigates public criticism, imposter syndrome, and the pressure of high visibility. We dive into what it means to be confident under scrutiny, how to reframe insecurity as part of your growth stage, and why being authentic will always outweigh being liked. Tune in and own your confidence.
