In this episode, Tracy continues the series on The Hidden Costs of High Performance with a powerful and deeply personal exploration of what it means to be "The Reliable One."
High-performing women are often the first to show up, the last to flinch, and the ones everyone depends on. But what's the hidden cost of holding it all together?
Tracy unpacks how this identity forms, why it persists, and how it can quietly erode your presence, intuition, and connection - both with your team and yourself.
What You'll Learn:
Why being dependable became your identity - and what it might be costing you now
The subtle signs of emotional disconnection and self-suppression
How reliability can morph into a quiet, unconscious script
Why the strongest leaders do flinch - and what they do with it
How your presence can reset your team's culture and unlock deeper trust
This episode is for you if:
You pride yourself on being calm, capable, and composed - but feel quietly disconnected
You've noticed a flattening of joy, creativity, or clarity in your leadership
You want to feel as good on the inside as you look on the outside
If you're ready to lead from presence - not just performance - this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
