Together, they unpack the invisible barriers women often face in leadership, from shrinking themselves in business conversations to hiding behind others’ names, and how reclaiming sovereignty becomes the gateway to real impact.This conversation is a powerful reminder that leadership isn’t about performance — it’s about presence. It’s about stepping into your authority, trusting your voice, and recognizing that the power to create your life already lives within you.Marina leaves listeners with a moving message: every dream carries purpose, and when you choose to fully own your power, you don’t just change your own world — you create ripple effects that transform communities, teams, and lives.My new book, Embody. Elevate. Expand., addresses what every other business book skips: the nervous system underneath the strategy.
