🎧 In this week’s episode of The Lead Podcast, Amy hands over the hosting reins to her close friend and finance professional, Julie Wanstall, for Part 1 of a special two-part episode series. Together, Julie and Amy dive deep into the inspiration behind Amy’s book Lead Like The Real You, exploring the heart and purpose behind it, especially as it relates to empowering women in leadership.

🚨 They tackle some of the tough "Why’s" that motivated Amy to write this book, particularly for women: Why is leadership so uniquely challenging for women? What obstacles do women face, both in the workplace and often even more so within the church, where sexism and patriarchal structures often prevail? Amy shares really vulnerably her personal experiences from over 25 years in leadership and public speaking, shedding light on how Jesus and the teachings of the Christian faith have shaped her journey.

Together, they also confront key questions like: Is Jesus supportive of women in leadership? How do issues like sexism, lack of opportunities, expectations, women's health and even friendship betrayals impact women leaders? Through candid and thought-provoking conversation, Amy and Julie unpack the complexities of leading as a woman of faith in today's world.

🙏 This conversation is packed with insights into navigating the often challenging landscape of leadership, making it a must-listen for anyone striving to lead authentically, with integrity and conviction.
