The Leading With Grace Podcast
The Leading with Grace Podcast is for women who want to climb the ladder while thriving instead of struggling. This is where we break free of outdated masculine leadership ideals, tap into our intuition and step into our feminine power.
I’m your host, Jen Reimer, leadership expert, speaker and coach; here to help you identify the conditioning that is holding you back from courageous, inspirational leadership.
I am endlessly fascinated by what drives human behaviour, and love those “aha” moments when I discover a paradigm I’ve been living into but unaware of.
In this show, we explore how societal paradigms and the subconscious mind play a role in the way you work and lead, and how to rise above this conditioning to lead with grace and courage.

31: Influencing People Is NOT About What You DO, But What You Believe
You're a high-achieving woman, and you always want to get better. But you're frustrated with one area - like your ability to influence, or your communication. You think it's your capabilities...but it's not.
It's something much deeper.
In this episode, I'm sharing real-life stories from three recent coaching sessions with high-achieving women—to show you how many of us seem to be facing very different capabilities challenges, and they are all rooted in similar subconscious patterns.
If you keep trying to improve in an area of your leadership and feel stuck, this episode will help you shift:
- Why strategy alone can’t solve what’s rooted in old emotional conditioning
- How early experiences (like being punished for “not being perfect”) shape the way women show up in leadership
- The real reason so many women still silence themselves, even when they know better
- How the coaching approach can help you move from overthinking to clarity, from self-doubt to calm action
- What it looks like to truly unbind from patterns that no longer serve you
From an executive who struggled to influence in the boardroom, to a business owner who kept second-guessing her every sales move, to a woman healing from a toxic relationship whose body was still holding the emotional weight—I reveal how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and silence are often survival strategies we’ve carried from childhood.
This episode shines a light on the kind of work that goes far deeper than surface-level strategy. It's time to unbind from guilt, fear, and emotional over-responsibility—so you can lead, speak, and live from a place of grounded self-trust.
Whether you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or woman navigating burnout and big decisions, this episode will resonate deeply.
