What are you really running from in your leadership? In this episode, I’m asking the tough questions that might make you uncomfortable but are necessary for real growth. We’re diving into Emotional Intelligence for the first time, and trust me, once you start exploring this, you’ll be back for more.

I’ll share a story from a dental office where things went off the rails – instruments were thrown, hiring was a nightmare, and it made me rethink everything about leadership. This episode will challenge you to see that while you’re not expected to tolerate abuse in leadership, you are responsible for controlling the one thing you can: yourself.

Tune in as I highlight the power of self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, and relationship management. These are the lessons that could make you the generational leader you were meant to be. This podcast isn’t just about inspiring you; it’s about equipping you to make a lasting impact on your team and shape the leaders of tomorrow. Ready to confront the hard truths and transform your leadership? Let’s dive in.

This episode gets real—because let’s face it, we all know the weight of stress. But what if I told you, the problem isn’t pressure itself? It’s not knowing the difference between pressure that sharpens you and stress that drains you.

Join me, Sarah Beth Herman, as we unpack the critical distinctions that could change everything for you. Inspired by the book Relentless by Tim Grover, this conversation is for anyone who feels overwhelmed by their career, responsibilities, or even their own self-expectations. We’re diving into:

✔️ How pressure can become a privilege that propels you forward
✔️ Why stress keeps you stuck—and what to do about it
✔️ The questions you must ask yourself to regain clarity and control
✔️ My personal story of facing toxic environments, impossible demands, and the stress that left me physically and emotionally depleted

This episode isn’t just a pep talk—it’s a wake-up call for anyone who’s tired of carrying a load they shouldn’t have to. Learn how to separate the forces that build you up from those that break you down, and discover how to take control of your circumstances instead of being consumed by them.

If today’s message resonates, stick around until the end—I’ve got a free, powerful tool that will help you put these lessons into practice starting now. Plus, we’ll talk about Blueprint to Breakthrough, a new program launching soon for leaders ready to rewrite their story and lead with unstoppable confidence.
