On paper, everything works. But inside? You’re bracing. Tired. Quietly wondering if what you’ve created is still aligned.In this episode, we name what so many high-capacity leaders feel but don’t know how to say: The culture might be costing more than it’s giving.Whether you're leading a company or shaping a home, culture isn’t just what you do—it’s how it feels.
