I’m not gonna lie, this one might sting.
Because if you’ve got staff (or you’re planning to), and you’re sitting in a sea of frustration, tasks not getting done, performance slipping, communication clunky, it’s easy to assume your staff are the problem.
But what if they’re not?
What if your ceiling is actually *you*, your leadership, your shadows, your avoidance, and your refusal to actually look at what’s underneath the resentment?
This episode is not soft. It’s not fluffy. It’s a real conversation about what’s *actually* going on when things feel “off” with your staff, and how that unresolved energy bleeds into culture, client results, retention, and ultimately your growth.
This is the work that too many founders avoid until the cracks start costing them.
If your business has felt heavy… this might be why.
"You don’t have a staff problem. You have an embodiment, leadership, and avoidance problem. And the red flags couldn’t be brighter."
