NOTES

In this episode of Your Life Over 50, Jean sits down with leadership coach Nicole van Kupperveld, founder of Organizations by Design, to explore what really happens as a result of working in toxic workplaces, and how women can reclaim their voice and leadership.

Nicole shares her powerful story of landing her dream job… only to be fired six weeks later. What felt like a devastating experience became the turning point that led her to uncover a deeper truth about leadership—one that many women have never been taught.

Together, Jean and Nicole talk about:

• What makes a workplace “toxic” and how it affects women physically and emotionally
  
• Why so many women feel unseen, undervalued, or out of place in traditional leadership environments
  
• The difference between traditional leadership and feminine-inspired leadership
• How women are already leading in their homes, communities, and everyday lives
  
• Why more women are choosing entrepreneurship—and what holds others back
  
• Practical encouragement for women over 50 who feel stuck but know they want more
  

Nicole reminds us that what you’re feeling is not just you and you’re not alone. There is a different way forward.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to shrink, change, or silence yourself to succeed… this conversation will remind you that your voice, your way, and your leadership already matter.
