Your Niceness Is Costing You Millions

Your niceness is not a virtue — it's a tax you're paying on your potential. In this episode, Kim gets real about the sneaky way that people-pleasing, sugarcoating, and "keeping the peace" is literally robbing you of millions — whether you're an entrepreneur, a corporate VP, or anywhere in between. This isn't about being harsh. It's about being honest enough to actually help people grow — and being bold enough to show up the same way for yourself. Kim also shares a raw, unexpected story about a baby bird, a tornado warning, and what it reminded her about life, loss, and why chasing your highest potential isn't optional — it's the only response to how hard life already is.
