In this deeply personal episode, Iām sharing two powerful lessons that hit me recentlyāboth rooted in how we show up as leaders in our lives and businesses. Whether you realize it or not, you are a leaderāof your clients, your family, and your business. But are you leading yourself first?
Iām opening up about what it really means to lead yourself (hint: itās not about spa days), and why rescuing others may be holding you back more than you think. Iām also sharing a story about learning to let goāof control, of guilt, and of the belief that just because you can do something means you should.
