A voice in your head can sound wise: calm, reasonable, urging, "Don’t overcomplicate this." For most of my life, it helped me go far.

But when making a decision about my future, I realized that voice echoed an earlier version of me. It didn’t know what I know now.

In this episode, I share lessons from a challenging season. My husband was sick. Two of my boys faced unsolved health issues. I was running a company and holding my family together. This episode focuses on how I found clarity in making a difficult business decision and why this lesson is vital for every high-performing woman.

This episode explores identity lag, overthinking, confirmation bias, and why getting out of your head helps you grow. Listen now to discover the mindset shift that transformed my journey.

  • What identity lag is and why it keeps giving you the same answers
  • Why your brain hands you your past instead of your future
  • How coaching helped me get clarity after weeks of spinning
  • Why high performing women get stuck in their own heads
