We say we want the goal—but sabotage ourselves before we even start. In this episode, Casey opens up about her own struggle with weight, procrastination, and the fear of being seen as failing. She unpacks the root of self-sabotage: it’s not laziness or lack of motivation—it’s fear disguised as perfectionism, busyness, and “not ready.” The solution? That's today's episode. Enjoy!

You’re not alone—and it’s not just about stress or sleep.

Do your people actually want to follow you—or are they just collecting a paycheck? Titles don’t earn trust. Behavior does. In this reset, Casey shares a personal leadership breakthrough: owning her mistakes. By setting that transparent example, she created a safe space for her team to fail forward. Because great leaders don’t demand perfection—they model progress. The episode previews six core leadership skills featured in her Credit Union Magazine article, with a focus on one game-changing tactic: set the right example. If your team feels pressure to be perfect, they’ll play it safe. But if they see you fall forward, they’ll take the bold swings that drive real results. Want to be a leader worth following? Start by going first.

Executives told me to give rookies a tiny quota—“They’re new, keep it realistic.” I doubled down instead: 4 units or bust. Thirty days later every single rookie hit it. In this episode I break down:

• Why results mirror what leaders tolerate
• The psychology of setting “stretch-but-believable” targets
• Coaching tactics that swap excuses for confidence
• A three-step framework to raise standards today and protect culture tomorrow

In this powerful 3-minute reset, Casey shares a raw, real story about a woman who unexpectedly shaped her mindset forever. The catch? She was once Casey’s rival. Discover how humility, kindness, and emulation can reshape not just your perspective—but your legacy. You’ll walk away inspired to reflect on who you’re learning from…and who might be learning from you.
