In this episode of F That: Shift Your Perspective, Elevate Your Power, Alexis Frank disrupts the glorified idea of leadership as self-sacrifice and makes the case for something revolutionary:

Leadership as self-preservation.

If you’ve ever felt burned out, bitter, or invisible in your leadership role — whether as a founder, parent, partner, or team lead — this episode is your wake-up call.

Alexis breaks down why the narrative of “leading by sacrifice” is a product of capitalism and patriarchy, and how modeling boundaries, rest, and self-worth is the most radical form of leadership we have.

🔥 You’ll Learn:

  • Why burnout is baked into self-sacrificial leadership
  • How patriarchy and capitalism shaped our leadership models
  • What it looks like to lead through rest, boundaries, and modeling
  • Why self-worth has nothing to do with productivity
  • How to rewire your role as a leader without guilt or shame

Your leadership doesn’t have to break you — it can rebuild you. Let’s shift.
