Shownotes

If you’re the kind of business owner who’s doing all the things (because let’s be honest—you probably do them best), this episode is for you. 🙋‍♀️

In today’s episode, I’m talking about something I had to learn the hard way: firing yourself.

I used to think staying in control was what made me a great leader—but the truth? It was slowing me down and keeping me stuck in the weeds. If you want real growth, freedom, and peace in both business and life, you’ve got to be willing to let go.

Here’s what we’re diving into:

✨ Why doing it all is actually costing you more than you realize

✨ How to spot the bottlenecks (hint: it’s probably you 😅)

✨ What it looks like to step into a visionary CEO role

✨ My favorite practical tools: a delegation cheat sheet + time ROI strategy

✨ How to create a calendar that reflects your leadership, not your to-do list

This episode is equal parts permission slip and strategic plan. If you’re ready to reclaim your time, avoid burnout, and start running your business like the leader you were born to be—this one’s a must-listen.
