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. 🌱
