Leading From Within: A New Era
of Empowered Women
BY LAURA MARIE RUBIN
For too long, women have been handed a narrow
definition of leadership — one built on outdated models
of success. We were told that to lead, we had to toughen
up, lean in, do more, push harder, and shrink less. We were
taught to chase titles, accolades, and approval, often at
the cost of our own well-being.
But the truth is: that version of leadership was never built
for us. And it’s time to stop trying to fit into a system that
was designed without our wholeness in mind.
