The Right Leader? She Doesn't Exist.
In this episode, Lindsey is calling out the thing nobody in leadership development wants to admit: the "right leader" doesn't exist. She never did.If you've been killing it at work but still feel like something is missing — like the success is real but it doesn't quite feel like yours — this episode is going to explain exactly why. And it's probably not what you think.Lindsey gets into the three ways this shows up for high achieving women, why it makes complete sense that you ended up here, and what it's actually costing you — plus how to start trusting your own leadership style instead.If you've ever had that Sunday feeling that something is just... off, even when everything looks fine on paper — this one's for you.Links mentioned-→ Free Connection Call: https://calendly.com/lindseymaza/connection-call→ 1:1 Leadership Coaching: https://theselfloveknowing.com/leadership-coaching

Are Women Holding Women Back at Work?

Because when we recognize these patterns, we can change them. Lindsey also opens up about the importance of acknowledging privilege and amplifying diverse voices in these conversations. It’s a call to shift from tearing each other down to building each other up.If you’re ready to challenge old beliefs and embrace a more supportive, empowered way of leading, this episode is for you.
