When Strategy Becomes Self-Protection

from Project Joyful · host Tracy Tutty

Are you using your strategic brilliance to hide? In this episode of the Project Joyful podcast, Tracy Tutty explores how high-level thinking can quietly become emotional avoidance - especially for high-performing women in leadership. We often think strategy keeps us on track. But when strategy becomes our default response, it can disconnect us from our instincts, our people, and even ourselves. Tracy shares:  Why strategic thinking sometimes masks deeper emotional fatigue  How common leadership habits like overplanning or skipping one-on-ones reveal subconscious self-protection  The hidden cost of living in your head and the energy leaks you might not even notice A personal story of when her strategic strengths began to cost her joy and presence How to reclaim your power without losing your edge If you've ever felt like your mind is sharp but your energy is low, this episode is for you.   🎧 Listen now to reconnect with the part of you that doesn't need to perform to lead powerfully.   🔗 Links:  Book a free clarity session: https://www.tracytutty.co.nz/Clarity Subscribe to the Project Joyful podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/project-joyful/id1571076049   Connect with Tracy Tutty:  Website: www.TracyTutty.co.nz Instagram: @tracyctutty LinkedIn: https://nz.linkedin.com/in/tracytutty Join our bi-monthly newsletter, The Executive Sanctuary.

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) VOICE OF... voice of idris Welcome to VOICE OF..., where impactful stories unfold.
