59. Survival Masks in Women’s Leadership: What They Are & How to Break Free

Have you ever noticed yourself shrinking in certain rooms, hardening in conversations where you want connection, or suddenly feeling stuck despite being highly successful?  This week, I’m exploring why these patterns emerge, and how it has nothing to do with your talent and everything to do with the winning strategies that once served you but now hold you back. Whether you became the good girl who stayed agreeable, the fixer who solved everyone's problems, or the ice queen who maintained perfect composure, these strategies helped you climb the corporate ladder… but there's a ceiling. Listen in to discover a framework of six survival masks that women wear in professional settings and learn how to recognize when these masks limit rather than protect you. You'll also hear about command states - grounded ways of being that replace survival strategies with authentic leadership presence.
