Today on Smart Girl Summer, I’m sitting down with my brilliant friend Jenni Catron—leadership guru, author, and the woman behind the Foresight Group, who’ll make you rethink every meeting you’ve ever sat through.
Jenni doesn’t just teach leadership—she lives it with clarity, conviction, and a whole lot of heart. She’s here to help us ditch burnout culture and lead with intention (without losing our sanity or soul in the process).
We’re talking about what actually fuels productivity (spoiler: it’s not longer hours), how to recognize a toxic work vibe before it consumes you, and what to do when you’re stuck in one but don’t know your next move. Plus, the truth about team culture and why it’s not just a buzzword—it’s your secret sauce.
If you’ve ever felt stretched, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted by the pressure to lead well, this one’s for you. Jenni’s dropping wisdom that’ll breathe life back into your leadership and clarity back into your calling.

Stick them wherever your soul needs a reminder. On the fridge? Yes. On your workspace? Please. On that laundry room cabinet where you pray for energy and a miracle? Absolutely.
