Are you building a business that depends on your leadership… or your self-sacrifice?

If you’re a woman entrepreneur leading a team while trying to scale your business, you’ve probably asked yourself questions like: How do I stop doing everything myself? Why does having a team still feel exhausting? And why does growth seem to demand even more from me instead of creating more freedom?

In this episode, Michelle and Tracy unpack one of the most important leadership shifts women entrepreneurs must make to scale sustainably: learning how to lead yourself before leading others. Because too many women step into leadership still operating from over responsibility, over functioning, causing self-abandonment without realizing it.

This conversation explores the powerful polarity between leading self and leading others and why sustainable growth requires both. You’ll hear why burnout is often rooted in leadership identity, how over-coaching and over-availability quietly keep you stuck, and what becomes possible when self -eadership becomes the foundation of your business.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why leadership skills alone are not enough if your leadership identity is built on self-sacrifice
• How burnout patterns follow women from “all star player” into the “head coach” role
• What changes when you prioritize self-leadership, emotional regulation, boundaries, and sustainable capacity

If you’re ready to scale your business without abandoning yourself in the process, this episode will help you rethink what sustainable leadership really looks like.
