Today is so special because I'm sitting down with the mentor who helped change the trajectory of my business—and honestly, my life.James Wedmore isn't just a business coach.

Let's talk about silence — not as weakness, but as power.In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a tough chapter in my leadership journey. Earlier this year, I released a podcast episode that stirred up some real emotions — especially with a few former team members. I almost didn't post it. I questioned everything, even texting Mel asking, “Should we really release this?” But I knew in my gut that I needed to share my truth.What happened next?I got pages of feedback from past employees — some hadn't worked with me for over six months. I asked for honesty, and they gave it to me. Some of it was helpful. Some of it hurt. A lot.And to top it off… it all unfolded in the middle of our big Assistant University launch.People were texting me, “Did you see what so-and-so said?” Screenshots were flying. Stories were being posted. The pressure to respond? Massive.But I didn't.Instead, I chose silence.I chose leadership over drama.I chose peace over pettiness.This episode is about what that season taught me — about boundaries, maturity, and trusting yourself even when it feels like the world is watching.Because not everything deserves your energy.And sometimes, the most powerful move you can make is saying nothing at all.Inside this episode, you'll hear:Why getting the “last word” doesn't always serve youWhat happened behind the scenes after a vulnerable episode went liveThe emotional rollercoaster of receiving unfiltered feedbackHow I handled public criticism during one of the biggest launches of my businessWhy silence can be the strongest response as a leaderIf you're navigating leadership, boundaries, or backlash right now… this one's for you.
