Have you been told the only way to grow is to hustle harder—wake earlier, stay later, say yes to more?

Here’s the truth: hustle doesn’t create growth—it creates burnout. In this coaching-style episode of Career Growth for Working Moms, Shannon shows you how to lead through your strengths so you can grow with clarity and confidence without doing more.

💡 Inside this episode:

• The Hustle Trap Cycle (overcommit → overwork → burnout → guilt → repeat) and how to exit it fast.
• Why strength-based leadership beats hustle (and what that looks like in real meetings & real mom-life).
• The 4 dominant wiring styles for working moms—and how to lead in yours:
  • Boss Lady in Action (movement fuels you)
  • Charismatic Queen (expression fuels you)
  • Heart-Centered Guide (connection fuels you)
  • Visionary Brainiac (strategy fuels you)
• A simple 3-step framework: Notice → Name → Nurture to align your work with your natural strengths this week.
• Real client stories (Melissa, Dana, Maria, Keisha) that prove: when you stop hustling against your wiring and start leading with it, career growth accelerates and burnout drops.

🧭 Try the Strengths Experiment (this week):

1. Notice when you feel drained vs. alive
2. Name your dominant style (boss lady / charismatic queen / heart-centered guide / visionary brainiac)
3. Nurture it with one aligned action (e.g., run a project, voice your vision, schedule connection, map the big picture)

✍️ Reflection prompts:

• Where am I hustling against my wiring?
• Which tasks drain me most—and which light me up?
• What’s one strength-based action I’ll take in the next 48 hours?

✨ Bottom line: You don’t have to prove more to be worthy. Lead from who you are—that’s where sustainable growth, confidence, and peace live.
