072 | How Female Founders Delegate Like a CEO Before They Burn Out
Ever had that “Oh no… I’m the problem” moment? Yeah. I did.
I thought I was leading. I thought I was being thorough. But what I was really doing? Gatekeeping. My team—brilliant, capable, ready—was circling my Slack like planes at LAX waiting to land. All because they were waiting… on me.
Delegation wasn’t just a to-do I hadn’t gotten around to—it was the leadership skill I was avoiding. Out of fear. Out of habit. Out of some martyr-y belief that real CEOs do it all. (Spoiler: they don’t.)
This episode is the real, unfiltered story of how I stopped bottlenecking my business and started trusting my team—with systems, with ownership, with actual decisions.
I’m breaking down:
- The moment I realized “touching everything” was breaking my biz
- The difference between dumping tasks vs. distributing ownership
- The fear behind control—and how I finally let go
- What happened when I intentionally gave trust (not just waited for proof)
- Why martyrdom is not a business model (and never was)
If you're constantly the one everything runs through, this episode is your mirror, your roadmap, and your permission slip to do it differently. You are not broken—you’re bottlenecked. And that’s fixable.
Let’s get into it.
