    Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed and feel like no matter how hard you work, it’s never enough? You're not alone.

    As women leaders, we often feel the pressure to do it all, but does working harder really get us closer to our goals?

    In this episode of The 360 LeadHERship Podcast, I talk about why “working harder” isn’t the path to success—and what you should be doing instead to lead strategically, avoid burnout, and reclaim your time.

    Whether it’s setting boundaries, shifting your mindset, or carving out time for strategic planning, my proven strategies will help you elevate your leadership, balance your professional and personal life, and create space to enjoy your successes.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • The hidden costs of overworking on your career, health, and relationships.
    • The power of carving out time for strategic planning
    • How constant stress impacts decision-making, creativity, and family life
