When Strategy Becomes Self-Protection
Season 1 Episode 207
Are you using your strategic brilliance to hide?
In this episode of the Project Joyful podcast, Tracy Tutty explores how high-level thinking can quietly become emotional avoidance - especially for high-performing women in leadership.
We often think strategy keeps us on track. But when strategy becomes our default response, it can disconnect us from our instincts, our people, and even ourselves.
Tracy shares:
-
Why strategic thinking sometimes masks deeper emotional fatigue
-
How common leadership habits like overplanning or skipping one-on-ones reveal subconscious self-protection
-
The hidden cost of living in your head and the energy leaks you might not even notice
-
A personal story of when her strategic strengths began to cost her joy and presence
-
How to reclaim your power without losing your edge
If you've ever felt like your mind is sharp but your energy is low, this episode is for you.
🎧 Listen now to reconnect with the part of you that doesn't need to perform to lead powerfully.
