There is a red flag many women leaders never see coming. It is the moment when being the dependable one, the fixer, the go to problem solver, quietly turns into a ceiling on your career. In this episode, I talk about how overdelivering and saying yes too often can trap you in maintenance work rather than in strategic opportunities. We explore why being indispensable in the wrong ways keeps you boxed in, how office housework drains your bandwidth, and why constant execution can erase your leadership edge.

You will learn how to audit your workload for high-effort, low-visibility tasks, how to protect your growth by being more intentional with your yeses, and how to shift from being an order taker to shaping the agenda. Suppose you have ever felt stuck in the “reliable executor” lane despite working harder than everyone around you. In that case, this episode will help you break the pattern and step into the strategic leadership you were hired for.
