Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail So… your business is growing, your team’s stronger than ever, and for the first time, things are running without you in every detail. That should feel like freedom, right? But instead, you’re feeling lost. Maybe a little guilty. Maybe even… useless. In this episode, I’m getting real about the identity shift that happens when you finally move out of operator mode and into your CEO seat. The weird in-between, the grief, the guilt, the “who even am I now?” moments. I’ll walk you through the four roles your business actually needs from you now (because “visionary” isn’t the full picture), and how to start owning them in a way that feels aligned and real, not like you’re faking it 'til you make it.
