She then talks about behind the scenes of the podcast and highlights women leaders as her main audience. She defines who these women leaders are and how valuing self-leadership is a trait these exceptional individuals share.

Drawing from her own experiences as an athlete, Paige emphasizes that taking care of yourself is not indulgent but rather a responsibility that allows you to serve others better.

Finally, Paige talks about what women leaders like you can expect from the show such as discussions that reignite your passions and inspire you to make bold moves, while inspiring others to do the same.
