Servant leadership sounds good in theory, but I've lived what happens when it goes too far. In this episode, I'm breaking down how leading from a place of service can quietly turn into overextending yourself, burning out, and carrying more than you were ever meant to hold. I share how this showed up for me in both my business and my home, the moment I realized something had to change, and what it actually looks like to lead in a way that supports your team without sacrificing yourself in the process. I also talk about what it looked like to outsource, delegate, and redefine my role, not just as a CEO, but as a woman, a mom, and a partner – and how that decision changed everything about how I lead.

➡️ My Profit Playbook workshop is happening on May 20th from 2–4 PM E.T. … and it's free. If your practice still runs through you, I'll show you where your profit is leaking and how to lead in a way that gives you your time, energy, and margin back – save your seat now!
