Let’s talk about something that looks like support…but often creates more stress.
In this episode of Operation Be, I’m unpacking a dynamic I’ve experienced too often: sharing that I’m overwhelmed, only to have people start deciding for me what I can and can’t handle.
Information gets withheld. Tasks get delayed. People try to “protect” my time…without asking.
And that’s not support. That’s misalignment.
I’m talking about why this creates confusion, missed deadlines, and unnecessary emotional labor (especially for women in leadership) and the difference between asking for help and simply being transparent.
We’ll get into what real support actually looks like: clear roles, honest communication, and truth shared with respect.
Because honesty isn’t being harsh.
🎧 Tune in now for a conversation about trust, communication, and what support should actually look like.
