348. Are You The Bottleneck? 3 Things You Need to Do Right Now to Receive More Support as a Founder and CEO

from Own It with Samantha Warren · host Samantha Warren

Most high-achieving leaders are exceptional at giving — but the moment someone tries to give it back, they deflect, minimize, and tell themselves they're fine. Today I'm getting radically honest with you about one of the sneakiest limiting beliefs I carried for years and see constantly in my clients: the belief that you can't receive support — not because it isn't there, but because you never learned to ask for it, trust it, or let it actually land. I walk you through the back pain that told me I was carrying too much, the breakdown that cracked it open, and the hiring win that proved the support was always just waiting for me to ask. I unpack three lessons that will shift how you lead, how you relate to help, and how you think about money as a resource that's allowed to support you without you suffering for it first — plus three real exercises to start this week. If you've been holding everyone else up while quietly running on empty, this episode will give you permission to put it down.Connect with Sam / Voice and VisibilityWebsite: www.voiceandvisibility.comNewsletter: https://voiceandvisibility.myflodesk.com/optinFollow Sam On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thesamanthawarren/Follow Sam on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thesamanthawarrenFollow Sam on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/voiceandvisibility
