You know how they say, “New level, new devil”?
I’ve found it to be more like, “New level, same devil”. It just shows up differently. And ideally, with each new level, it gets easier to notice and shift more quickly.
In this episode, I’m unpacking ONE Question to stop overfunctioning and becoming the bottleneck in your business.
This is a pattern that’s shown up for me at every stage and uplevel of business, and one I see with high-achieving, high-capacity, hyper-independent business owners who are used to being the one who’s always “got it!”.
I talk about how this dynamic plays out with clients, teams, and leadership and why learning to step out of it is essential if you want to grow without burning out or unintentionally disempowering the people you’re trying to support.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- The identity shift that becomes essential as you scale and how it impacts both your personal growth and your client and team dynamics
- The lesson I didn’t expect when I retired my husband and became the breadwinner and how it changed the way I think about responsibility in business.
- Why leadership can start to feel heavier at each new level, even when things are “working,” and why this often becomes the real constraint to growth.
- The difference between overdelivering and overfunctioning and why that distinction matters if you want to support client results without carrying everything yourself.
