All Episodes

March 7, 2025 • 35 mins

Oh, this was good! Today, I dive deep into the concept of hyper-independence— why so many of us women struggle to delegate and receive support, and how this affects both your business and personal life. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted (angry?) that you have so much on your plate, or like everything depends on you, this conversation will help you shift your mindset, heal your childhood wounds and finally feel safe releasing the white-knuckle-grip of control and let other people help you.

I share my own traumatic childhood experience that caused me to be hyper-independent, including a deeply vulnerable story about my kidnapping, and explain how past experiences shape our ability to trust and delegate. I provide actionable steps to release control, heal past wounds, and step into a new level of ease and success.
