Every time you say yes when you mean no, you’re paying a leadership tax - one that drains your influence, erodes your credibility, and chips away at your self-worth.

In this solo episode of Embracing Enough, I pull back the curtain on one of the most common traps leaders fall into: overcommitting out of a desire to be liked, prove themselves, or avoid disappointing others.

I share my own hard-earned lessons, including the career-shaping moment that forced her to deconstruct what leadership really means.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why people-pleasing and perfectionism sabotage your leadership potential

• The hidden costs of saying yes too often (it’s more than just burnout)

• How self-worth shapes every leadership decision you make

• A simple 3-question filter to turn reflexive yeses into intentional yeses

• How to say no with clarity and without guilt

If you’re ready to stop leading from exhaustion and start leading from power, this episode will give you the clarity - and the permission - to do just that.

🎧 Press play and take the first step toward ending the leadership tax for good.
