In this powerful and practical episode, Tanya tackles one of the most challenging aspects of leadership: navigating team resistance when a necessary decision isn't popular. Designed for high-integrity women leaders, especially in healthcare, this episode offers a faith-rooted framework for setting boundaries, holding the line with grace, and discerning the difference between healthy leadership and autocratic control. With real-world wisdom, scriptural truth, and compassionate challenge, Tanya helps leaders balance empathy with authority—without losing themselves in the process.

Whether you’re facing ongoing pushback from your team, struggling with decision fatigue, or feeling guilty about making a hard call, this episode will equip and encourage you to stand firm in your role while remaining grounded in purpose and peace.

What You’ll Learn:

• The emotional toll of unpopular but necessary decisions
• Signs a conversation has moved from dialogue to demand
• Four practical boundary-setting statements every leader should use
• The difference between being clear vs. being controlling
• Why being unpopular doesn’t mean you’re leading poorly
• How Jesus modeled purpose-driven leadership under pressure
