Let’s be honest: you didn’t start your business to spend your days playing referee, therapist, or emotional clean-up crew. But if you’re finding yourself caught in team tensions, tiptoeing around tricky conversations, or putting out fire after fire—you’re not alone.

Here’s the truth: drama is a leadership tax—and it’s one you don’t have to keep paying.

In this episode of Female Founder Unplugged, we’re breaking down exactly where drama hides in growing businesses—and how to lead with clarity instead of chaos.
