You wouldn’t spoon-feed your teenager, right? So why are you still spoon-feeding your business?
In this episode, I’m calling out one of the biggest mindset traps holding brilliant women back, treating your business like a baby that can’t survive without you. 👶💼
If you’re constantly checking in, fixing everyone’s mistakes, and believing that no one else can do it right you’re not leading a business; you’re parenting a codependent toddler. And that, my friend, is exhausting.
Let’s flip the script. Because your business doesn’t need a mother… It needs a leader.
💡 In this episode, you’ll discover:
✔ Why micromanaging, hovering, and “rescuing” your team keeps you stuck in the weeds.
✔ The crucial difference between parenting and leading and how that shift transforms your team and your freedom.
✔ How to let go without letting it all fall apart (hint: structure = trust).
✔ The simple post-it strategy to identify what only YOU can do and what you can finally delegate.
✔ The real reason “control freak tendencies” are about fear, not standards and how to release them for good.
It’s time to stop doing $40/hour tasks when you’re a $1000/hour woman.
You didn’t build your business to be its babysitter. You built it to be free, impactful, and present at work and at home.
So this week, I challenge you to let go of just one thing. No swooping in. No rescuing. No re-doing it yourself. Delegate it, coach through it, and let your team rise.
Because the moment you stop mothering your business… it grows up and so do you. 🌱

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
