Have you ever looked at your team and thought… something feels off, but you can't quite explain it, like you've been growing but your team hasn't grown with you? Can you relate? Because this is one of the hardest parts of leadership, especially as a heart-centered CEO who genuinely cares about your people and the roles they've played in your journey. In this episode, I'm unpacking the truth that the team that got you here may not be the team that gets you there, sharing a personal story from my early team and walking you through the two paths every CEO has to navigate when alignment starts to shift. And it's not just about letting people go, it's about clarity, leadership, and making decisions that support the next level of your business. If you've been avoiding a conversation, feeling tension on your team, or questioning whether you have the right people in the right seats, this episode is for you.
