I think we should embrace our strength, lead with our authentic selves. And I think we can relate. I don't know if you experienced it, but I've experienced so many times called being irritated or too emotional after just being me in stating my points in a meeting with a lot of passion. But it does affect you as a woman, as a person, as a human. You lose your genuine, vulnerable self because of it.

And so I think when the moment you have to choose and you have to... be someone that you're not. Yeah, you lose your authenticity and that's so important in a leading position that you actually not only leading position for everyone to be able to lean into your authenticity and that's not possible in a toxic work environment.

Beautiful. Yeah, I can relate. I can relate. The environment is everything. If you feel you're surviving instead of thriving, you need to quit. You need to leave. Because a lot of women that I guide now, some of them really start, they're really these beautiful, amazing women, high positions.

And they're still sometimes like in this environment with these political games, toxic leadership, and they stay. I'm like, okay, what's the plan? And the strange thing is that they cling, they're just holding this situation, holding... It's holding them back. They're just stuck. And sometimes it's better to accept the rejection than feeling stuck, I think.

So if the environment, the toxic environment feels like a rejection, maybe it's better. Rejection can be redirection and it's sometimes better to just leave. And I think the most liberating decision can be to move on. And like you said, you need to find your tribe, you need to find your environment so you can thrive. But it's confronting, right? Being rejected. Why is someone toxic?

It's like, for example, for women. Of course, more and more women go into leadership positions. They're needed, okay? And feminine leadership is actually based on empathy, emotional intelligence, also inclusivity. And I know that, and I was one of them, that... It's no longer true that women need to like mimic masculine or male leaders. No.

Yeah, Women Leaders, Help Forming Women. The reason I created Women Leaders OS was exactly what I needed at many points in my life. Like I already shared, going from doing very well to hitting rock bottom, it just leads you to a healing journey that guides you back to your true self. And you just realize that the path I realized that the path I was on was nothing like what I used to love.
