Ep. 124 Why Firing Someone Cost Me $35K More Than It Should Have (And What I Learned)


Listen Later

What happens when you know you need to fire someone... but you wait? And wait. And wait some more?

In this brutally honest solo episode, Andrea shares the painful truth about delaying a firing decision that cost her $35,000 in additional salary—plus lost team momentum, delayed projects, dropping income, and the biggest cost of all: her self-trust.

This isn't your typical "how to fire someone" business podcast. This is about the pattern most feminine leaders fall into: collapsing, people-pleasing, bubble-wrapping the truth, and choosing to be liked over being clear. Andrea reveals how childhood blueprints around receiving love show up in every difficult business conversation and why "being nice" often means disempowering everyone involved.

If you've ever hesitated on a hard decision—firing a team member, ending a partnership, closing a program, leaving a relationship—because you were afraid of being the bad guy, this episode will hit home.

 

Introducing: Spine of a Queen

Andrea shares her new 12-month feminine leadership mastermind starting January 2026, limited to 25 women. This container focuses on clearing the micro-triggers that cause collapse in real-time, so you can stand in your truth and lead from presence instead of fear—in business, relationships, and every area of life.
