Real talk: I have everything I’ve ever wanted in business and life, and I also started my 44th birthday bawling. Not because I have an issue with getting older, but because I find it tough to have a whole day that’s all about me.
This episode is an honest look at the patterns so many high-achieving entrepreneurs play out without realizing it: being “fine,” low-maintenance, hyper-independent, over-functioning, and abandoning ourselves while telling everyone we don’t need anything and that we’ve “got it.”
I’m unpacking ONE Question I asked myself to shift this pattern and my birthday, and why your unapologetic answer to this question matters for you as a CEO if you want to be able to grow, scale, lead, and receive more of the good stuff (like success, money, and joy) without pushing it away or making it harder than it needs to be.
In Episode 197, you’ll hear:
- The sneaky way high achievers abandon themselves, why this is hard to spot, and how this might be limiting your capacity to earn and scale.
- The subtle ways we lie to ourselves without realizing it, how these patterns inform our identity, and how to shift into CEO-level self-leadership.
- The difference between being “mask up” and “mask down,” and what patriarchy, good girl conditioning, and coping mechanisms have to do with it.
- An important reminder about blame, responsibility, and the real work that begins when you gain awareness of where you’re overgiving or not getting your needs met.
- How to use this question to open yourself up to receive more, ask for support, and scale sustainably.
