[S5, Ep13] What’s the Rush? Why Slowing Down is the Fastest Way to Lead
Manage episode 502929192 series 3577198
Entrepreneurship teaches us to move fast: fail fast, scale fast, bounce back faster. But here’s the truth—when you’re always in overdrive, you’re not leading, you’re redlining. And eventually, that pace will cost you your clarity, your creativity, and your joy.
In this episode of Female Founder Unplugged, I’m unpacking why slowing down might just be the most powerful leadership strategy you’ve been overlooking. Because real growth doesn’t come from constant hustle—it comes from creating space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters.
Episode Highlights:
⏱️ Why our cultural obsession with speed leaves leaders stuck in fear and urgency
💔 What we lose when we trade reflection for rushing—joy, freedom, and fulfillment
🧘 The power of the pause: how rest fuels resilience and stillness creates strength
🔥 Practical ways to break the hurry habit and redefine success beyond speed
If you’ve been running at full throttle and wondering why it still doesn’t feel enough, this episode is your invitation to slow down—so you can lead better, live better, and actually enjoy the business you’ve built.
