This episode of Leadership From the Heart features an inspiring conversation with Deborah Trappen, keynote speaker, author, podcast host, and founder of the WomanUP! movement. Joined by hosts Renee Funk and Elizabeth Riley, the discussion explores women’s leadership, confidence, mindset, and the importance of building intentional communities rooted in authenticity and support.

Throughout the conversation, Deborah shares the story behind the WomanUP! movement and how recognizing the lack of female representation in leadership spaces sparked a nationwide initiative designed to empower women in business and real estate. She also dives into themes of self-worth, affirmations, personal growth, and the importance of surrounding ourselves with intentional relationships, encouraging listeners to embrace “big dreams,” overcome self-limiting beliefs, and confidently use their voice without waiting for outside permission.

With warmth, humor, and unmistakable energy, this episode is a powerful reminder that leadership from the heart begins with knowing who we are, embracing our purpose boldly, and helping others rise alongside us.
