Yolanda shares her journey from growing up as a migrant farm worker to building a life rooted in self-worth, boundaries, and personal responsibility. She explains how early decisions to trust her voice shaped her path and eventually led her to create the 21DaysWithYolanda program.

  • From "I Should Be" to "I Am": A Woman's Leadership Awakening
    Feb 4 2026

    Many women lead successful lives on paper yet quietly feel misaligned, unseen, or stuck in roles shaped by expectations rather than truth.

    In this episode of Her Table, Her Rules, Juliet Peters explores the shift from performing who you think you should be to owning who you truly are with Tina Schaaf, Founder of The Executives Agent™ and CEO of The Schaaf Group.

You'll hear grounded insight for women who sense they're capable of more but want it to feel aligned, not exhausting.
