Growth Drivers

04/01/25 • 44 min

Most women don’t realize they’re stuck in survival mode—busy, burnt out, and totally disconnected from themselves.

In this episode of Growth Drivers, we’re calling out the patterns of the “asleep woman”—the one who’s doing everything for everyone, but quietly losing herself in the process.

This is the female counterpart to our “Soft to Savage” men’s episode—because the queen must rise too.

We’re sharing:
— How to recognize the signs of emotional burnout, martyrdom, and hidden resentment
— Why “I’m fine” is the most dangerous four-letter word women say
— The difference between weaponizing your emotions vs. owning your power
— How to awaken your inner leader, set boundaries, and stop playing the victim
— What feminine strength really looks like—and how to step fully into it

If you’re done coasting and ready to live with deeper purpose, power, and presence—this one’s for you.

Hit play and wake up. It’s time to rise.
