MALITTA SEAMON: ARE YOU RUNNING ON EMPTY?: EP. 280

MALITTA SEAMON is the author of "Mindset Freedom: Seven Steps to Unlock Your Power In Life, Love, and Leadership", a business strategist, coach, author, speaker, and trusted adviser to CEOs, C-suite executives and leaders. She co-founded Inbound Leadership to help unlock untapped potential for greater impact by fostering safe spaces for leaders to reflect, be vulnerable, a=]d grow—her true passion. Malitta says,"When women feel drained at work or at home, we often blame ourselves for taking on too much or not finding "balance." But what if the real reason we're running on empty is that we're constantly contorting ourselves—shrinking, bending, over-accommodating, and over-delivering to meet other people's expectations?" For years, that's exactly what Malitta did.While building an eight-figure business with her husband, Brad Seamon, and raising a family, she continually adjusted and overperformed to meet roles and standards defined by others. Until the cost of contortion became too high. The business hit a breaking point—and so did her marriage. In the fallout, Malitta finally asked herself a question too many high-achieving women avoid: What would it look like to lead without apology—and live without shape-shifting? We talk about: Why women feel pressure to contort—trying to "make it work" at their own expense. The subtle but powerful signs that you're bending too far. The real cost of chronic self-adjustment—emotionally, professionally, and relationally. Why chasing "balance" keeps us stuck—and what to pursue instead. How to stop the cycle of self-betrayal and start leading with clarity, courage, and authenticity.
