About this listen
We’ve all said it — “It’s quicker if I just do it myself.” But what if that belief is the very thing holding us back from freedom, leadership growth, and peace? In this episode, I unpack where micromanagement really comes from, why it’s burning working mums out, and how to shift from control to trust — the feminine way of leading with flow instead of force. ✨
Key Takeaways
- Micromanagement isn’t control — it’s fear and pressure in disguise. It stems from wanting to perform, time scarcity, and perfectionism.
- Doing everything yourself limits your growth. At work, it blocks trust; at home, it reinforces carrying the mental load.
- Perfectionism costs your health, joy, and leadership potential. The short-term gain leads to long-term burnout.
- The feminine shift is about trust, not lower standards. True leadership is about creating space for others to rise with you.
- Freedom starts with letting go. Ask yourself: “Where am I saying it’s quicker if I do it myself — and what would change if I trusted instead?”
