In this episode of The Queen of Automation, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with executive leadership coach Becky Henderson. If you know me, you know I spend a lot of time in the weeds of operations, systems, automation, and all the tangible pieces of a business. But Becky works on the most important system of all: your brain.

We dove headfirst into what it really means to reprogram your internal operating system. Not the software kind, but the belief systems, the mindset patterns, and the stories we’ve been carrying since we were kids. Becky’s whole philosophy is that being drives doing. You can’t hustle or hack your way into the kind of leadership that feels aligned, calm, and powerful if you’re operating from old programming that doesn’t serve you anymore.

What struck me the most was how Becky makes these intangible things feel so practical. She talked about how high-achieving founders often hit a wall, not because they’re not capable, but because they’re still running on beliefs that are no longer true. Maybe they never were. And when she said, what feels familiar isn’t necessarily true, it landed hard.

Things got personal, too. I didn’t expect to, but I ended up getting real about my own ADHD diagnosis and how that shaped the way I saw myself, especially in my 20s and 30s when I was trying to climb the corporate ladder, raise kids, and prove that I was normal enough to keep up. Becky flipped that narrative on its head in real time and gave me a powerful reframe that I know will stay with me and hopefully with you too.

This conversation wasn’t about productivity hacks or quick wins. It was about reclaiming your energy, your focus, and your identity so that your systems, internal and external, work better. If you’ve ever found yourself burning out while chasing success, or wondering why nothing ever feels quite enough, you’ll feel seen in this episode.

Becky’s work is that rare blend of truth-telling, emotional intelligence, and strategy that every founder needs in their back pocket. It’s not therapy. It’s not coaching in the traditional sense. It’s a total recalibration.

If you’re a founder or executive and you’ve been feeling like something’s off, even though everything on paper looks great, this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.
