Listen "E18 Lead with Pause: Dr. Ebony Stone on Grace, Grit, and Women Owning the Room"

Episode Synopsis

When women lead, the room shifts. In this conversation with Dr. Ebony Stone—author, speaker, and coach— we unpack what it really takes to thrive as a woman in leadership today: grace over guilt, perspective over comparison, and “do it scared” over perfect timing. Ebony shares her PAUSE framework (Pause/Pray, Analyze, Understand, Strategize, Execute) and how it applies to real life—boardrooms, busy homes, and those messy in-between moments. We talk superpowers, why your presence is a competitive advantage, and how to reframe nerves as excitement so you can step onto any stage (or into any meeting) with intention.
“You don’t have to be fearless. You just have to do it scared—until scared starts to look like excitement.”
You’ll learn:

How to give yourself grace without lowering your standards
The PAUSE framework you can use for a meeting, a project, or a life pivot
Why “do it scared” is the fastest path to confidence
How to stop comparing and start leading with your unique superpowers
A practical way to separate facts from limiting beliefs (at home and at work)
