something I’ve been afraid to admit about work

from Chief of Self · host Mady Maio

In this episode, I share something I’ve been genuinely nervous to say out loud. It’s a belief I’ve quietly carried for a long time, one that made me question myself, my ambition, and whether I was really cut out for the path I chose. For years, I assumed this feeling was something to hide or “fix,” especially as a founder.From building Camber to paying closer attention to my nervous system, this conversation is about unlearning the shame around how you naturally operate and realizing that wanting a different pace, rhythm, or relationship to work doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you.✨ In this episode:The quiet belief I’ve been afraid to admit publiclyHow shame sneaks in around ambition and successWhat it looks like to build a life and business around your real energyIf you’ve ever felt embarrassed by how you move through your days, worried you weren’t built the “right” way, or wondered if success had to feel heavier than this…you don’t have to carry that anymore.🎙️ Listen every Tuesday for new episodes of Chief of Self, my cozy, big-sister podcast for mindset, growth, and the messy process of becoming your highest self.STAY CONNECTED WITH ME:⁠Instagram⁠TikTok⁠YouTube⁠
