Episode notes
Send us Fan Mail As female founders, we carry so much. We’re leading teams, serving clients, keeping the money flowing, protecting the culture - until the weight gets too heavy. That’s not weakness. That’s leadership fatigue. In this episode of Female Founder Unplugged , I’m sharing the exact 3-step rescue plan I use with my clients - and with myself - to stop the spiral of overwhelm and get back in control. Episode Highlights Why overwhelm doesn’t mean you’re broken - and why it hits the most capable leaders. What leadership fatigue looks like (and how to know when you’ve hit the wall). The 3-step rescue plan: grounding yourself, finding the fire, and reaching for support. A powerful reframe: overwhelm isn’t a sentence, it’s a signal. Because you don’t need to push harder to prove yourself. You just need the right reset. Grab the rescue plan here: From Overwhelmed to In Control.
