In this deeply inspiring episode of the UpliftHER Leadership Series on the Self-Care Goddess Podcast, I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Jenny Riddle, keynote speaker, professional storyteller, communication coach, and a powerful guide for leaders who are ready to show up, speak up, and lead with courage.
Jenny’s work reminds us that powerful communication isn’t just about what we say — it’s about how we make people feel. With over 20 years of experience helping executives, teams, and changemakers turn ideas into unforgettable messages, Jenny blends stage presence, storytelling, and leadership wisdom in a way that is both grounded and transformational.
✨ In this expansive and soul-stirring conversation, we explored:
✅ Why storytelling is one of the most powerful leadership tools
✅ Growing up around the kitchen table, and how early environments shape our confidence and voice
✅ The lifelong challenge of work-life balance and why there is no one-size-fits-all formula
✅ Burnout in modern leadership, especially for women and entrepreneurs
✅ How technology has blurred boundaries and made true rest more difficult
✅ Recognizing burnout as the inability to enjoy success in the present moment
✅ The courage to pause, reset, and choose enjoyment without losing ambition
✅ Breathwork and presence as anchors for public speaking and leadership communication
