In this special International Women’s Day episode, Kara Duffy gathers three powerhouse coaches, Angie Wisdom, Marie Garvey, and Lindsay White, for an honest conversation about why so many women are still burned out, stuck, and holding themselves back. They discuss why work-life balance is a myth, how perfectionism and people-pleasing get in the way of leadership, and what coaching actually looks like when it's working. You’ll hear hard truths about why women opt out of their dreams and how to rewrite the rules so you can actually enjoy the life you’re working so hard for.
