In this episode of Your Big Next, I’m sharing a lesson that’s been hitting me deeply lately—and I have a vacation at the beach (and some honest reflection) to thank for it. We’re talking about the difference between leading from overflow vs. leading from force, and why this shift might be the key to sustainable success in both life and business.

If you’ve ever found yourself white-knuckling your way through your goals, stuck in the grind, or building something that’s secretly burning you out… this one’s for you.

I’ll walk you through how to tell when you’re in “force mode,” what overflow actually looks like in your leadership, and how to start making that transition. I’m also sharing a free tool—20 prompts to help you reconnect with your purpose and lead from a place that feels more aligned, energized, and alive.
