Summary
In this solo, I get real about the gap between who we say we want to be and how we're actually showing up. I walk you through my "mirror test" to evaluate your career, relationships, and self-leadership with radical honesty. We dig into what makes a woman truly promotable (before anyone gives her the title), why doing only what's in your job description won't move you up, and how to stop begging for outcomes you haven't built the habits to earn. If you're ready to become the woman you would hire, promote, date, and follow… this one will light a fire and give you a framework to act on it today.
You'll learn:
- The exact questions I use to audit my professional standards, and why leadership begins long before the title.
- Why "doing your job" isn't grounds for elevation, and how initiatives and outcomes set you apart.
- The relationship litmus test: Would you date you? and how self-talk shapes who you attract.
- The mindset shift from "deserving" to earning, and why worthiness ≠ entitlement.
- How to visualize, then micro-act like your next-level self without burning your life down.

| 0:00.0 | Am I showing up like the woman who earns more, who leads more, who commands more? |
| 0:06.7 | Welcome to Embody Radio, the premiere podcast for ambitious women ready to elevate their body, |
| 0:11.7 | mind, and life to the next level. On this show, we've used high performance, wellness and |
| 0:16.1 | aesthetics, and self-mastery into a real world blueprint for personal excellence. Each week, you'll get real |
| 0:21.8 | grounded strategies and unfiltered conversations with high performers who walk the talk, no fluff, |
| 0:26.8 | and no fake hype. Because excellence isn't an accident. It's embodiment. And this is M-Body Radio. |
| 0:34.1 | Girl, what's up? Welcome back to M-Body Radio, where excellence isn't an accident. It's something you live. I'm |
| 0:39.3 | your host, Emily Duncan. Welcome back to another episode. As always, I am so happy to have you here. |
| 0:45.8 | Ooh, today, it's kind of sort of one of those episodes, you know, the kind that might, I don't even want to say sting a little bit, but I like to think that |
| 0:56.4 | this show is for just the wake-up calls that you were already kind of aware of, but that you really |
| 1:04.6 | needed to get to the next stage in your life to become the person that you want to be. |
| 1:09.9 | And they might hit a little too |
| 1:12.1 | close to home at times. They might challenge you a little bit, but they're also going to be the |
| 1:16.6 | kind that you thank yourself for listening to. So we are once again talking about personal standards, |
| 1:23.5 | but not just the standards that you set for the world, obviously. It's always about the |
| 1:27.7 | standards that you hold for yourself because there's a handful of questions that I ask myself |
| 1:34.4 | often, especially if I'm trying to level up in a specific area of life. So those questions are, |
| 1:42.4 | would I hire or promote me in my job back when I was, you know, |
| 1:48.0 | single years and years ago? Would I date me? And then would I follow me, like on social media? |
| 1:54.4 | Would I see myself as a person of influence? Would I be one of my own people of influence? |
| 1:59.9 | And if I'm being so honest, anytime I make one of my own people of influence? And if I'm being so honest, |
| 2:02.1 | anytime I make one of these episodes, and I hope this always comes through, but it's, |
