Ep. 9 The Leadership Trap: Why Aspiring to Be a 'Boss Bitch' is Holding Back Your Team
🚨 Ever feel like you’re finally doing all the “right” things as a CEO—hiring a team, hitting your revenue goals, calling the shots—yet something still feels...off?
You’ve followed all the advice. You’ve built the team, stepped into the CEO role, and maybe even have “Boss Bitch” energy posted on your office vision board. On the surface, it looks like success—the team, the revenue, the CEO title 🤔
But under the hood? There’s often resentment, disconnection, and a nagging feeling that leading a team might actually be more exhausting than doing it all yourself. That Boss Bitch energy could sabotage your business despite appearing successful on paper.
In this candid conversation, I explore:
đź’Ľ How your mindset before hiring affects everything after they start
đź’Ľ I dive into why having a team and delegating tasks doesn't automatically create the time freedom and business joy you were promised
💼 Why being a “Boss Bitch” isn’t the leadership level you think it is
💼 The real reason teams feel frustrating (hint: it’s not because they’re lazy)
đź’Ľ How you think about your team determines how supportive they are (not the other way around!)
If you're ready to ditch the resentment, build a team you actually enjoy leading, and create a culture of trust and collaboration, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air—and maybe a bit of a mirror. The good news? With a few simple shifts in how you hire and show up daily, you can break this cycle and reach the final leadership level.
👇 Listen in, and don’t forget to:
đź“Ť Take the Leadership Quiz to find out where you are on your leadership journey
📍 Book a 1:1 call if you’re ready for hands-on support
You don’t need to hold it all together by yourself anymore. Let’s build soul-giving that doesn’t run on guilt and grit.
