Do you ever feel like the only way to succeed as a manager is to do it all yourself?

You’re working harder and longer hours, but still doubting if you’re leading well.

Delegation feels risky, so you hold onto everything—leading straight to burnout.

You want to lead with clarity and confidence, but old-school “managing” just isn’t working.

If this sounds familiar, this episode will be a game-changer.

I’m joined by Kevin Bender, founder of The New Manager Club, who has over 35 years of leadership experience - everywhere from the Philadelphia Phillies to COO at Goodwill. Kevin knows firsthand the difference between being a stressed-out manager and becoming a confident coach.

He shares the exact coaching framework that helps leaders—especially working women in management roles—ditch overwhelm, build stronger teams, and lead with balance.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode
✔️ Why 60% of new managers fail—and how to avoid their mistakes
✔️ The mindset shift from “managing” to “coaching” that prevents burnout
✔️ How to build trust on your team through delegation (without losing control)
✔️ Why celebrating small wins creates a culture of success
✔️ How to balance career growth with family life and well-being
✔️ Practical leadership tools to lead with clarity, confidence, and energy

“The best way to earn trust is to give trust. When your people succeed, you succeed.” – Kevin Bender

Feeling stuck in your career?

Do you feel guilty focusing on your own growth when your family needs you?

Have you been waiting for “someday” when life slows down before you’ll finally invest in yourself?

Do you secretly worry that you’ll burn out before you ever reach the next level?

If so, this episode is for you.

Most working moms think career development is a luxury—something you’ll get to once the kids are older, once work isn’t so busy, once life finally calms down. But here’s the truth: career growth isn’t extra, it’s essential.

In this episode, Shannon shares how to grow your career from a place of alignment (not exhaustion) so you can lead with clarity, confidence, and balance.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ Why career development is the foundation of sustainable leadership (not just “extra”)
✔️ The myths that keep working moms stuck in guilt, comparison, and burnout
✔️ How each leadership style (Boss Lady, Charismatic Queen, Heart-Centered Guide, Visionary Brainiac) approaches growth differently
✔️ The STEP Method to grow your career in small, sustainable ways—without waiting for “someday”
✔️ Real stories of women who invested in themselves and reignited their careers.

“Your family doesn’t need your perfection, they need your presence. And when you’re growing, you’re more present, more fulfilled, and more YOU.” – Shannon Fox
