62. Self-Mothering: The Leadership Skill Every Woman Needs with Dr. Gertrude Lyons

What if the reason you're exhausted isn't because you're doing too much, but because you're mothering everything and everyone except yourself? Your work, your team, your family, your vision, your next level. You hold it all. You anticipate. You stabilize. You make it work. And your own needs? They get handled later. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Gertrude Lyons, a transformational leadership and development coach who believes something that stops most women in their tracks: every woman is a mother, with or without children.Join us this week as Dr. Lyons and I explore why rewriting how we mother is one of the most powerful identity shifts a woman can make. You’ll learn why self-mothering is the leadership skill no one taught you, the difference between sensing others' emotions and knowing your own, and simple morning rituals that rewire your nervous system for presence. This conversation will change how you lead in the year ahead forever.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: www.aspire-coaching.co/62Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yanndang/Check out Dr. Gertrude Lyons' work here: https://www.drgertrudelyons.com/ Mentioned in this episode:FREE LEADERSHIP BRIEF: How to Stop Getting Talked Over in High-Stakes Meetings (Even If You’re the Only Woman in the Room)You said something valuable… and no one acknowledged it.
