Have you ever found yourself up at 10 pm rewriting things, fixing mistakes, or just doing it yourself… even though you’ve hired a team to help you? 

If you’ve been wondering why your team isn’t stepping up, this episode of Female Founder Unplugged is your wake-up call. Because truthfully? Your team isn’t the issue. But how you’re leading them... that might be.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what over-functioning really looks like, why it’s costing you freedom, and how to lead with clarity, trust, and intention.

✨ Episode Highlights

  • 🚨 The truth about the “dream team” myth — and what no one tells you about hiring
  • 📌 What over-functioning actually looks like (hint: it’s not just being busy)
  • 📊 Why measuring tasks isn’t the same as creating accountability
  • 💡 The real reason your team isn’t taking ownership — and how to fix it
  • 🛠️ The four shifts that will create a culture of autonomy and results

We’re unpacking what better systems and clearer expectations can do for you and your business.

And if you’re ready for personalized support (if you’re still carrying the load and the clipboard), it’s time to make a shift. In a Spark Session, we’ll map out:

  • Where you’re over-functioning
  • What needs to be delegated
  • How to create clarity and accountability that sticks

Just one hour and one clear path forward.
