‘Liked or Respected?’ The Mindset Shift Every CEO Must Make | Ep. 369

30 minutes

Calling all recovering people-pleasers: this one might sting (in the best way).If you’ve ever shapeshifted to keep the peace, said “yes” just so no one would be mad, or avoided the hard convo to stay “nice”... this episode is the one you didn’t know you desperately needed.

Ashley’s ripping the band-aid off what it actually takes to lead, not just look like a leader on Instagram and spoiler: it’s gonna require some people not liking you.

Inside this hot-seat solo:
- Why being liked is the addiction and leadership is the upgrade
- How people-pleasing is a nervous system survival response (not a personality trait)
- Ashley’s go-to decision filter when fear and approval start getting loud
- What happens in your body when you abandon yourself for “peace”
- A real-life convo with her husband that will make you rethink your hip pain (yes, really)You don’t need to be everyone's favorite to be a powerful leader. You just need to be in right relationship with yourself.

Ready to stop playing small and start moving like the coach, creative, or CEO you came here to be?
