You’re leading the charge, but still stepping in to cover what should’ve been handled.
You’ve built the system. Delegated the work. Set the expectations. But here you are again…
…checking behind, picking up the slack, and carrying responsibilities that weren’t yours to begin with.
This isn’t about failure or even about hiring. It’s about a pattern; one that smart, seasoned leaders fall into because your capacity keeps getting mistaken for consent.
If your latest search looks something like this:
-
“Why am I still doing everything?”
-
“Signs my team isn’t working out”
-
“Delegated but still doing it myself”
-
“Team keeps dropping the ball”
-
“Leadership burnout symptoms”
In this episode, Felicia Ford walks alongside you as you confront the real cost of overfunctioning in leadership and what shifts when you decide to stop carrying what isn’t yours. Because being “the one who always shows up” shouldn’t cost you your vision.
You’ll learn:
-
What overfunctioning disguised as leadership actually looks like in day-to-day operations
-
How misaligned hires (even the talented ones) can erode your flow and momentum
-
Why boundaries must protect your business, not just your team
You’re done leaking energy. Let's Move.
This is your invitation to recalibrate your leadership rhythm.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
