    Are you cramming 40 hours into a 20-hour window? Let me guess — you’re the Approvals Queen, the final decision-maker, and the walking FAQ page for your team. If stepping away from your business for three days would send everything into chaos, then friend, we need to talk.

    In this episode, I’m getting real about the invisible tax I’ve paid — and you might be paying too — by being the bottleneck in my business. I’m sharing:

    • How I spotted the bottlenecks I didn’t know I built
    • The emotional and energetic cost of trying to be everywhere and everything
    • My three steps to reclaim your CEO seat (without burning it all down)
    • Stories from women I coach — and yes, one founder who rewrote every single client deck (for real)


    • AI for Founders LinkedIn Group: Join here — I drop weekly prompts, tools, scripts, and strategy to help you delegate with heart (and a little AI magic).

  • 072 | How Female Founders Delegate Like a CEO Before They Burn Out
    Jun 10 2025

    Send us a text

    Ever had that “Oh no… I’m the problem” moment? Yeah. I did.

    I thought I was leading. I thought I was being thorough. But what I was really doing? Gatekeeping. My team—brilliant, capable, ready—was circling my Slack like planes at LAX waiting to land. All because they were waiting… on me.

    Delegation wasn’t just a to-do I hadn’t gotten around to—it was the leadership skill I was avoiding. Out of fear. Out of habit. Out of some martyr-y belief that real CEOs do it all. (Spoiler: they don’t.)

    This episode is the real, unfiltered story of how I stopped bottlenecking my business and started trusting my team—with systems, with ownership, with actual decisions.

    I’m breaking down:

    • The moment I realized “touching everything” was breaking my biz
    • The difference between dumping tasks vs. distributing ownership
    • The fear behind control—and how I finally let go
    • What happened when I intentionally gave trust (not just waited for proof)
    • Why martyrdom is not a business model (and never was)

    If you're constantly the one everything runs through, this episode is your mirror, your roadmap, and your permission slip to do it differently. You are not broken—you’re bottlenecked. And that’s fixable.

    Let’s get into it.

  • 071 | Say It Like a Leader: The Feedback Framework Every Female Founder Needs
    Jun 6 2025

    Ever had that stomach-dropping moment when someone hits you with the truth? I sure did. I thought I was being empowering, but what I was really serving was a steaming plate of vagueness. During a team Zoom, someone finally said it.

    That moment flipped a switch for me. I realized feedback isn’t a “nice-to-have” skill. It is the job. If feedback feels like conflict waiting to happen or totally freaks you out, this episode is your safe space — and your swift kick — into leading with more clarity and confidence.

    I'm breaking down:

    • The myth of vague leadership (and why it’s secretly killing trust)
    • The 3-part Clarity Formula I use every day now
    • How I moved from feedback avoidance to feedback flow
    • The mindset shift that helped me stop bottlenecking my business
