Every time you say yes when you mean no, you’re paying a leadership tax - one that drains your influence, erodes your credibility, and chips away at your self-worth.
In this solo episode of Embracing Enough, I pull back the curtain on one of the most common traps leaders fall into: overcommitting out of a desire to be liked, prove themselves, or avoid disappointing others.
I share my own hard-earned lessons, including the career-shaping moment that forced her to deconstruct what leadership really means.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why people-pleasing and perfectionism sabotage your leadership potential
The hidden costs of saying yes too often (it’s more than just burnout)
How self-worth shapes every leadership decision you make
A simple 3-question filter to turn reflexive yeses into intentional yeses
How to say no with clarity and without guilt
If you’re ready to stop leading from exhaustion and start leading from power, this episode will give you the clarity - and the permission - to do just that.
🎧 Press play and take the first step toward ending the leadership tax for good.
