While the focus of our podcast is leadership, the foundation is on the impact communication has across all relationships. Our podcast is a no-holds-barred exploration of myth and method, risk and reward, hell and hope, idiocy and ideas, ouchies and opportunities, do’s and don’ts, fear and fearlessness. It is our hope that you’ll leave each episode with a new perspective to consider, a different way of thinking about something, a rabble-rousing approach to solving a problem, or a realization that how you impact the people around you directly correlates to the results you achieve in business and in life.

60: Part II, Breaking Free: Unmasking Yourself
Wednesday Feb 19, 2025
Wednesday Feb 19, 2025
Welcome back, Rabble-Rousers! This week, DocShellie & Carla Lewis are diving deep into something we all do, and rarely talk about: the masks we wear. Not the Halloween kind (though we had some fun with those!), but the metaphorical ones we slip on to navigate the world. We're talking about the perfectionist's polish, the caretaker's constant giving, the performer's dazzling act – all in the name of fitting in, avoiding judgment, or just feeling safe. What happens when those masks become so ingrained we forget who we are underneath? Join us as we explore the triggers, the tells, and the terrifying (and oh-so-worth-it) act of taking off the mask and daring to be real.

Unapologetic Rabble-Rousers
While the focus of our podcast is leadership, the foundation is on the impact communication has across all relationships.
Together, we bring over 70 years of experience as leaders, coaches, team members, degreed and capped students of organizational psychology, change management practitioners, executive coaching, engineering, IT, and rabble-rousing as women of influence from heavily male-dominated work environments.
Our podcast will be a no-holds-barred exploration of myth and method, risk and reward, hell and hope, idiocy and ideas, ouchies and opportunities, do's and don'ts, fear and fearlessness.
It is our hope that you'll leave each episode with a new perspective to consider, a different way of thinking about something, a rabble-rousing approach to solving a problem, and a realization that how you impact the people around you directly correlates to your results in business and in life.
