The Lucy Gernon Show

What if the thing holding you back isn’t your workload… but your mindset?

As a woman in corporate leadership, especially in fast-paced, high-pressure industries like STEM, tech, and financial services, you know this juggle all too well. You lead high-performing teams. You're constantly solving problems. You carry the weight of responsibility and expectations. But the question is—at what cost?

Podcast Details:

In this powerful episode of The 360 LeadHERship Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real reason so many brilliant women in senior roles feel stuck, overwhelmed, and unfulfilled—even when they're ticking every box of success.

And I’ll be honest: it’s not because you don’t have the capacity. It’s because you’ve been institutionalised into a system that rewards overworking and penalises boundary setting. But lovely lady, there is another way—and I’m here to show you how.

Tune in to Discover:

• Why goal setting strategies alone won’t fix the deeper issue—and what will.
• The high cost of operating from a to-do list vs. a results list (and how to flip the script).
• How women in leadership can reclaim their power by redefining productivity and presence.
• The damaging myth of “more hours = more impact” and what actually drives executive presence and recognition.
• My 5-step mindset reset specifically designed for women in leadership to elevate impact while protecting your energy and finally create the work-life balance you’ve been craving.
