Amber gets deep down with comedian, producer, and senior living powerhouse Carolina Gonzaga for a no-filter conversation about being “too much” in a world that asks women to shrink. From fast friendship to bold vulnerability, they dive into how Carolina turned her so-called “flaws” into superpowers at work, on stage, and at home. This episode is a celebration of emotional honesty, feminine audacity, and the women rewriting the rules.

Topics Covered:

• Female friendship as radical connection
• Being loud, loving, and unapologetically YOU
• Motherhood, mental health, and breaking generational patterns
• Comedy as catharsis and career
• Why the patriarchy hates happy women

If you've ever been told to tone it down, quiet your joy, or make yourself smaller—this one's for you. Carolina reminds us that taking up space isn’t a flaw, it’s a revolution. Hit play, feel seen, and remember: you were never “too much” you were always just enough.

Forget the filtered stories. These are raw, real, and unapologetically female leadership journeys. Nicole didn’t follow a blueprint; she carved her own, stumbling into “accidental” roles that lit her up with purpose. Sue flipped the script from CFO to CEO while navigating the lonely, often icy terrain of being one of the few women in leadership. Sondra took the long way around: healthcare admin, law school, then CEO—but she did it her way.

And they didn’t hold back. From being called an “old battle ax” to surviving boys’ clubs and deep personal grief, these women peeled back the layers of bias, vulnerability, and brutal growth. They dropped truth bombs on self-doubt, internalized criticism, and the relentless pressure to perform. Their message? Show up real, not perfect. Build community. Own your story. And lead like the system was built for you, even when it wasn’t.

They call us feisty. Difficult. Too much.
We call it female... and it’s time we owned it.

In this no-holds-barred trailer episode, host Amber Bardon pulls back the curtain on why The FWord podcast was born: because one conversation about female leadership wasn’t enough. This is the platform for the disruptors, the rule-breakers, the women who got tired of waiting for a seat and started building their own damn tables.

Amber shares her raw, real journey from being underestimated in interviews to founding a nationally ranked tech company and now launching her fourth podcast, the boldest one yet.

If you're ready to stop shrinking, start speaking, and lead without apology, you're in the right place.

The F Word starts now.
Hit play. Then hit the system where it hurts.
