    What 11 Years in Business Actually Taught Me About Leadership

    In today’s episode of Behind the Fold, I’m reflecting on 11 years in business and the leadership lessons that have reshaped not just how I run my company, but how I protect my energy and focus. After opening up about my recent experience with burnout, I’m also sharing why I’m stepping away for a solo wellness retreat and why creating space might be one of the smartest business decisions you can make. Here’s what I dive into: 06:55 – Why trying to be everything to everyone limits your growth, and how letting go of control creates more capacity to lead.11:35 – The mindset shift that helped me stop waiting for the “right time” to hire, and why building the right team starts long before you feel ready.16:15 – The simple reframe that made delegation easier, helped me reclaim hours I didn’t realize I was losing, and freed me up to grow the business instead of just keeping it running.21:40 – Why some of your biggest breakthroughs happen away from your desk, and how giving yourself room to think can unlock your next level of growth.I hope this episode reminds you that building a successful business isn’t about doing more. It’s about leading with intention, clarity, and the right support around you. If you know someone trying to do it all alone, send this their way.

    Who Were You Before the Titles?

    In today's episode of Behind the Fold, I'm reflecting on who we are outside of our titles. So many of us pour ourselves into motherhood, careers, and relationships, only to realize we've lost touch with the person underneath. As I navigate my own growth journey, I've been questioning how much of my identity has become tied to what I do instead of who I am. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, get curious, and reconnect. Here's what I cover: 04:47 - How motherhood, business, and career can blur the line between what you do and who you are07:09 - Why constantly showing up for everyone else can disconnect you from your own needs, and why high-achieving women often lose access to themselves in the process09:25 - What self-rediscovery actually looks like13:05 - Simple ways to reconnect with the parts of you that exist beyond your titles, including protecting one thing that's just for youThe roles we hold will evolve. Kids grow up. Businesses pivot. Share this episode with a friend who might need reminding too.
