Giving Up Control
from The Speak Easy Podcast · host Jen Estill and Karen Stefl — creative studio entrepreneurs, brand and video experts, boss ladies, moms
There's a version of control that makes sense early on when you're building something, establishing standards, or simply the person most capable of getting something done. But leadership and parenting have a way of exposing the limits of that approach. If you're always the one making the decision or solving the problem, nobody else gets the chance to develop the skills, confidence, or ownership that comes from figuring things out themselves. In this episode, we dig into the why, when, and how of giving up control intentionally. We talk about the moments in leadership and parenting that forced the question, why letting go doesn't mean letting standards slip, and the very real fear that comes with trusting someone else to carry the ball. Tune in as we get honest about what it actually looks like to loosen your grip and lead with intention.
