E7: Burning Bridges and Being An Imposter with Mykle Basha

Welcome to another episode of "Just Between Us Girls" with host, Arianny Damian, who had the pleasure of speaking with Mykle Basha, Vice President and Regional Manager of Paradigm Properties.

In this episode, Mykle introduces herself and her role, diving into the complexities of representation and how it impacts our ability to show up authentically in the workplace. We discuss the challenges of taking up space with confidence, the audacity required to do so, and the burnout that can result from having to exert more effort than your peers for the same recognition. Mykle reminds us that we're all winging it and encourages us to marinate in both our successes and the journey itself.

We explore the importance of surrounding yourself with people who dare you to be authentic rather than conform, and how serving others can ultimately serve you reminiscing on this year's Huckleberry House Sleep Out. The episode shares insights on grounding down to cheer up, and the necessity of being your own affirmer. Mykle also touches on the reality that employees may not stay with you forever and how this understanding can make you a better leader.

We conclude with a heartfelt conversation about the pressures of assimilation and the ongoing fight to let your authentic self shine through. Mykle's wisdom and experience provide invaluable guidance for anyone navigating the complexities of leadership and self-acceptance.

Join us on "Just Between Us Girls" for an empowering discussion with Mykle Basha about authenticity, leadership, and the journey to embracing your true self in the face of challenges.
