Ep. 134 - Carrying the Mental Load as Women | How People Pleasing Becomes Invisible Labor

Servant leadership sounds good in theory, but I've lived what happens when it goes too far. In this episode, I'm breaking down how leading from a place of service can quietly turn into overextending yourself, burning out, and carrying more than you were ever meant to hold. I share how this showed up for me in both my business and my home, the moment I realized something had to change, and what it actually looks like to lead in a way that supports your team without sacrificing yourself in the process. I also talk about what it looked like to outsource, delegate, and redefine my role, not just as a CEO, but as a woman, a mom, and a partner – and how that decision changed everything about how I lead.   ➡️ My Profit Playbook workshop is happening on May 20th from 2–4 PM E.T. … and it's free.
