What is your greatest adventure so far?

She talks about the importance of setting boundaries and how embracing the unknown—whether in career or parenthood—can lead to even greater success and unexpected opportunities. Denise also reflects on how motherhood shifted her mindset from feeling the need to prove herself at the table to knowing she’s earned her seat—becoming not just a stronger leader, but a more positive role model for other women in the industry.
