As I prepared for maternity leave, I’ve been sitting with a question that cuts deep:

What happens to the business when you step away?

In this episode of Your Big Next, I’m sharing in real time what I’m learning (and unlearning) as I shift from being the go-to operator to the visionary leader my business actually needs.

You’ll hear:

• The real cost of being the bottleneck—even when it looks like “being a good leader”
• The difference between over-functioning and empowering
• Why the most successful founders don’t just delegate tasks… they transfer ownership
• A breakdown of my Leadership Leverage Pyramid (Operator → Manager → Visionary) and what each level requires
• How I’m using AI tools and systems to build a business that grows even while I rest

If you’re feeling the pull to lead differently, but aren’t sure how to let go this episode will help you reset your framework, trust your team, and build something that’s both scalable and sustainable.
