38. What Happens When You Stop Being 'The Fixer'?

Episode Summary: In this episode I explore the quiet role many leaders, especially women, slip into without realising, namely:  The Fixer. Being capable, reliable, and caring often leads to carrying more than is sustainable - at work, at home, and in relationships. This episode looks at how the fixer role forms, why it feels so hard to step out of, and what changes when leadership shifts from responsibility to relationship. This is an invitation to lead with greater trust, presence, and ease to become the leader people are genuinely looking for. Host: Maria Rush, Leadership Mentor & Speaker, helps caring and capable people navigate the human side of leadership to experience more calm, joy and fulfilment.  Through a proven awareness and communication framework, Maria supports you as a parent, partner and professional to become the leader people are truly looking for - authentic, compassionate and adaptable.
