Staying in your corporate job because your ego loves the praise, the validation, and the status it brings? You’re not alone.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about one of the biggest road blocks high-achieving women face when trying to leave their six-figure corporate career: ego.
Your ego has carefully crafted a version of you that looks successful on the outside—but may be hiding burnout, dissatisfaction, and a yearning for something more.
The thought of letting go of that identity? Terrifying.
But here's the truth: that persona you built to succeed in corporate is not the real YOU. And clinging to it is keeping you stuck.
In this honest conversation, I break down:
✅ Why ego is really so afraid of change
✅ How corporate women become addicted to praise and recognition
✅ What it means to wear a “mask” and how it keeps you in survival mode
✅ The hard truth about pride and how it clouds your decision-making
✅ Why you must separate your persona from your purpose to truly reinvent your life
You’ll also get powerful journaling prompts and mindset shifts to help you step out of ego and into your most authentic self.
Whether you're preparing to leave your corporate job or already building your next chapter as a coach, consultant, or speaker—this episode is a must-listen.
