Some days leadership feels straightforward. Other days, the same role, the same workload, feels harder to carry.

In this episode of Project Joyful, Tracy explores why that difference isn’t about time, motivation, or discipline, and why creating more space in your calendar doesn’t always bring the relief you expect.

This is a conversation about leadership capacity at the level it actually lives: in the nervous system. Not as something to fix or optimise, but as something to understand and recalibrate.

Inside this episode, Tracy unpacks:

• Why exhaustion often persists even after you’ve slowed down or taken time off
• How leadership can feel harder on some days without anything “changing” externally
• The subtle ways responsibility is held in the body, not just the diary
• Why rest can feel restless for capable, high-performing women
• What leadership feels like when capacity expands from the inside

This episode is for women who are already capable, respected, and successful, and who sense that the way they’re holding leadership is costing more than it needs to, even though everything looks fine on paper.

If this conversation gives you language for something you’ve been feeling but couldn’t quite name, that awareness alone is meaningful.
