Ever feel the high-performance version of you walk through the front door and start running the house like a meeting? We unpack how a powerful CEO identity can drift into every corner of life and unintentionally crowd out warmth, play, and ease. Rather than flipping a mythical “work off” switch, we walk through a practical approach to integration—bringing all of who we are while choosing the right facet to lead with, moment by moment.
We share simple, real-world tools to shift from strategy to presence without losing your edge. You’ll learn how a two-minute threshold ritual can dissolve work intensity before it hits the dinner table, why a three-second pause can transform conversations, and the exact consent-based question that prevents unasked-for coaching: “Do you want help thinking this through, or do you want me to just listen?” We also map a weekly reflection practice to spot where you made someone feel managed instead of loved and set a small intention to course-correct.
Across the episode, we reframe ambition as an asset that needs more gears, not fewer. At work, lead with solutions and foresight; at home, lead with curiosity and connection while keeping your competence available in the background. This shift builds trust, reduces reactivity, and actually sharpens your leadership because real rest returns. If you’ve ever heard “you’re going to make it homework,” this conversation will help you respond with empathy instead of a plan. Press play, try one practice tonight, and tell us what changed at your table.
