Have you ever stepped into a role that kept expanding… without anyone really naming what you were responsible for?

Or found yourself carrying more and more because the system around you wasn’t clear enough to hold it?

My guest today is EA Clarke, a founder and executive who has spent decades inside fast-growing companies, building teams, scaling organizations, and watching what actually happens when growth outpaces clarity.

Across startups and scaling environments, EA kept noticing the same pattern. Companies don’t struggle because there’s a lack of talent. They struggle because expectations, communication, and role clarity quietly erode as they grow.

When that happens, people compensate.
They fill gaps.
They juggle competing priorities.
They take on work the system isn’t holding anymore.

And very often, the people doing that compensating are high-performing women.

This episode isn’t about doing more or pushing through.

It’s about understanding when you’re responding to a system problem, not a personal one, and how much relief comes from naming that difference.

If you’ve ever felt like your role keeps growing without conversation, or like you’re holding things together behind the scenes while everyone else moves forward, this conversation will help you see what’s really happening and why it’s not a failure on your part.
