Too many women business owners find themselves stuck in business burnout… this cycle of hustling harder, putting themselves last, and wondering why it still doesn’t feel like the freedom they wanted.

We are taught that the answer is doing more — when really, it’s about giving ourselves the conditions to create the energy, clarity, and self-compassion we need to lead.

In this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast, I am joined by incredible leadership coach and my dear friend, founder of Siren, Cherie Healey, to talk about what it really looks like to lead from the inside out.

We’re exploring how to reconnect with who you truly are, declare your desires out loud, and design a business that fuels you instead of drains you.

What You’ll Discover in This Week’s Episode:

  • Why putting yourself LAST is holding back not just your own growth, but the growth of your business
  • How to lead from your true self instead of a place of hustle, fear, or imposter syndrome
  • Why your desires aren’t frivolous or selfish (and why they are actually one of the smartest business decisions you can use!)
  • How to spot the difference between flow and overflow… and why living in overflow changes everything in your business and your life
  • Why you should make self-compassion your secret leadership superpower (without losing your grit, drive, or the ambition that got you this far)
  • What is looks like to run a business as you SIREN self, and how that shift can change how you interact with clients, lead your team, and feel fulfilled at the end of the day

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts. Email me here to share your lessons, ahas and insights.
