If your team is missing the mark, dropping the ball, or you’re silently fuming because no one’s doing it like you would... there’s an uncomfortable truth to face: You might be the problem.
Yeah, I said it. And I say it with love (and 20+ years of lessons from the trenches where I did exactly that!). Because I’ve been that bottleneck. That business owner who’s hired amazing humans, then sabotaged their success by avoiding daily feedback like it’s a live grenade.

If your team is missing the mark, dropping the ball, or you’re silently fuming because no one’s doing it like you would... there’s an uncomfortable truth to face: You might be the problem.
Yeah, I said it. And I say it with love (and 20+ years of lessons from the trenches where I did exactly that!). Because I’ve been that bottleneck. That business owner who’s hired amazing humans, then sabotaged their success by avoiding daily feedback like it’s a live grenade.
In this episode, we unpack the uncomfortable and essential place of accountability. No BS. No pretty stories. Just the straight facts about what leadership in your own business actually requires.
🔥 Here’s what you’ll take away:
- The sneaky way you might be the bottleneck in your business and how to shift it.
- Why a “daily feedback” rhythm is the golden ticket to unlocking team performance (and reclaiming your sanity).
- The 5:1 rule that turns decent team culture into game-changing momentum.
- Why micromanaging and avoiding hard convos are two sides of the same self-sabotage coin.
How to know when it’s time to lovingly let a team member go, and why it’s not a failure, it’s leadership.
And yep, I go there too, talking about perimenopausal brain fog, forgetting names I should know by heart, and the emotional gymnastics of juggling business, babies, and being the damn backbone of everything.
We also talk fascia release therapy (the one thing we stopped doing even though it was changing our lives 🙃), my new glasses obsession (they’re the new dangly earrings, people), and the silent epidemic of badass women doing all the things and quietly breaking down.
If that’s you, I see you. I was you. And this episode? It’s your permission slip to take your power back, starting with how you lead.
🎯 YOUR MOXIE MOVES:
- Start giving daily feedback (yep, DAILY). Five things they’re doing right. One thing they need to shift.
- Ditch the mind-reading myth. Your team can’t meet expectations you haven’t clearly set.
- Set scoreboards. Every role. Every week. Because if no one knows what winning looks like, how can you expect them to hit the mark?
- Remember: Accountability isn’t cruelty. It’s clarity. It’s leadership.
💬 “Stop tolerating mediocrity. You’re paying people to do a job. Don’t keep doing it for them.”
Your business isn’t a charity. It’s your vehicle for freedom, for your time, your family, your purpose. But freedom only comes when we lead like we mean it. So if you’ve been shying away from holding people accountable, this is your loving wake-up call. 💛
