You’ve built the career. Earned the title. Proven you can handle the pressure. You’re ambitious, influential, and the person everyone can count on.
And that might be part of the problem.
Because when you can do it all—and your success has been built partly on doing exactly that—it’s easy to start believing you should.
You perform. Take on more. Be available. Be likable. Keep everyone happy. Dim your light so you don’t outshine others. Hold everything together—and make it look effortless.
But who decided that was the price of success?
Hosted by Marie Garvey, a powerhouse executive who has spent 30 years media-training leaders and talent across entertainment and sports, Her Badass Era starts where most career advice ends: you made it.
Now what?
How do you keep growing without letting your ambition cost you your life? How do you become an even stronger leader without becoming responsible for everything? How do you hold boundaries when your success has trained everyone to expect unlimited access? How do you stop making yourself the compromise?
And how do you decide what you actually want when you finally realize you no longer have to earn the right to choose?
That’s what being in your Badass Era is all about.
It isn't about becoming someone new. It's about owning who you already are—the good, the bad, and the indifferent—and putting yourself back in the driver's seat of your own life.
Own your power. Own your voice. Own the room.
Be ambitious. Want the promotion. Ask for the money. Take the opportunity. Flex your muscles. Or decide you don’t need the next title, bigger role, or harder challenge just to prove you still have it.
There will always be tradeoffs. The question is whether you're making them because you've chosen them or because somewhere along the way, success taught you to keep auditioning for a seat you’ve already earned.
Each episode gets honest about the realities of being a high-performing woman in leadership, from boundaries, imposter syndrome, executive presence, career advancement, confidence, influence, and perfectionism to relationships, ambition, workplace dynamics, and the ridiculousness that comes with being a woman at work.
But don't expect another self-improvement podcast telling you everything you're doing wrong.
Marie isn't here to fix you.
Think of her as the girlfriend who gives great advice, makes you laugh when everything feels wrong, and loves you enough to call you on your bullshit.
Through candid solo episodes and honest conversations with successful women, you'll get practical tools, tough-love advice, real stories, embarrassing career moments, and experiments designed to help you question the rules you’ve been following long after you stopped needing them… and take back some control.
What happens if you say no without apologizing? Protect the boundary? Stop volunteering to fix everything? Ask for what you really want? Let someone else handle it? Negotiate something you assumed was non-negotiable?
Your world probably won't fall apart.
You might just feel a hell of a lot lighter.
Her Badass Era is a place for successful women to learn from each other, laugh together, tell the truth about what it actually takes to lead, and remember that being successful doesn’t mean you have to keep proving you deserve to be there.
You don't need to become less ambitious.
You don't need to become more badass.
You need to own the badass you already are.
Shoulders down. Exhale.
