🔥 What You’ll Hear in This Episode

02:00 The Birth of AncHER Co.

When Khiara discovered she was pregnant while climbing the corporate ladder, she faced a defining moment. The traditional consulting world, traveling weekly and living out of hotels, didn’t align with the kind of mother she wanted to be. That tension between ambition and family became the spark for AncHER Co., a coaching practice designed to help ambitious moms grow in leadership while honoring their personal lives.

“I created a resource that I felt didn’t exist, a space where ambitious mothers can break through that middle-management ceiling and step into their first executive leadership roles.”

07:45 Visibility: The Thread That Connects It All

For Khiara, visibility has been the common thread through every stage of her journey, from hospital boardrooms filled with executives to coaching rooms full of women rediscovering their voice. She explains that visibility isn’t about being the loudest in the room, it’s about using your voice strategically and showing up authentically.

“Visibility means you don’t shrink when the opportunity comes. You own that space.”

09:40 Confidence Through Preparation

Confidence, Khiara reminds us, is built in the quiet moments, in preparation, not perfection. Whether leading meetings as the youngest woman in the room or stepping into entrepreneurship, she emphasizes the power of doing the work behind the scenes: knowing your numbers, anticipating questions, and walking in prepared.

“I tell my clients, give yourself grace. There will always be reasons to think you can’t do it. But confidence comes from preparation and showing up even when it’s uncomfortable.”

12:50 The Power of Personal Brand

From her signature hot-pink suit to her unfiltered honesty, Khiara has built a personal brand around authenticity and connection. She encourages women to stop blending in and instead use their individuality as a visibility strategy, whether in corporate leadership or entrepreneurship.

“You stand out anyway, so just do it and own it. That’s what makes you memorable.”

17:00 Building Wealth with Clarity

When it comes to wealth, Khiara blends practical financial guidance with mindset coaching. She walks her clients through their money story, helps them face financial patterns with honesty, and empowers them to create spending plans that align with their values and goals.

“Know your numbers, not what you think they are, but what they actually are. Then ask yourself, does this reflect my goals?”

She believes that your career and your finances are deeply connected — one influences the other — and when women approach both with intention, they create sustainable success.

20:48 The Mindset Shift: ‘I Deserve This’

Perhaps the most powerful moment in the conversation is Khiara’s reminder that worthiness isn’t something to earn, it’s something to accept.

“Telling yourself I deserve this, and then reminding yourself why you started, those are the simplest, most powerful shifts you can make. Over time, you start to believe it, feel it, and live it.”

For ambitious moms, that mindset shift changes everything. It transforms guilt into grounded confidence, and it redefines what thriving truly looks like.
