E50 | Authenticity Has Boundaries: Building Community With Discernment with Paige Royal
Sat Feb 07 2026
In Episode 50 of She Became CEO, I welcome back my very first podcast guest, Paige Royal, for a conversation about community—how we build it, how we belong, and how we sometimes outgrow it.
We talk about authenticity versus “filtering” ourselves in different spaces, loneliness (including the kind that comes from language and cultural barriers), and why shame—especially around money—keeps people quiet. I also share how learning English as a 12-year-old became my way into the wider world, and eventually into business and leadership.
