I was talking with an operations leader recently who said this: “I closed my laptop at 11:40… and then opened it again at 6:15 the next morning because I couldn’t shake the feeling I’d missed something.”

Nothing was actually on fire. But her body didn’t know that. And then she said, a little more quietly—almost like a confession:

“I don’t trust that it’s okay to stop.”

Operations executives are usually the ones holding everything together. Anticipating issues. Stepping in early. Cleaning things up before anyone else even sees them.

And over time, that can turn into long nights, fuzzy edges around your time, and a life that starts to feel like something you’re managing instead of actually living.

In this episode, you’ll get a way to step out of that pattern without stepping back from being excellent at what you do.
