In this episode of the Gutsy Chick podcast, I’m diving into the Stickler archetype—one I know many of you high-achieving, detail-loving women will resonate with. We’ll explore how sticking to the rules can sometimes keep you safe and successful… but also stuck. I’ll share stories from my clients (and from my own journey) that show how learning to flex the rules, trust your body, and lead with intuition can unlock your next level of power.
So if you’ve ever felt like doing things perfectly still isn’t working, this episode is your permission slip to rewrite the rules—and lead with guts, not guilt.
