5. From Doer to Leader: The Hardest Job No One Prepares You For

Feeling like a bad leader? You’re not. You’re just leading in a system that set you up without training, support, or boundaries. In this episode, we unpack why management feels so damn hard, the three traps most leaders fall into (overfunctioning, conflict avoidance, and no boundaries), and what you can actually do to feel more grounded.We break down how people get promoted into leadership with zero prep, why being good at your last job doesn’t mean you’ll instantly thrive in your new one, and how to stop blaming yourself for a system that never trained you. Expect real talk, lived experience, and practical tools to help you lead without burning out.Whether you're newly promoted or knee-deep in overwhelm, this one’s for you.Find us on Instagram and let us know what you think! @a_better_monday
