What if being a “career woman” is actually what’s burning us out?
In this episode, I take you inside my own shift from running a business that constantly drained me to finally feeling what it’s like when work becomes an exhale. The story moves through the stages of female entrepreneurship, from the codependent “good wife” model to the reliable “good husband” that provides and grows.
Along the way, you’ll hear about the toll of micromanagement, the endless chase of shiny new strategies, and the messy lessons I learned with consultants. The turning point came when I stopped clinging to control and trusted real leadership, which let my team carry the vision instead of me. For the first time, my business feels like it supports me rather than the other way around
