[S5, Ep45] The Hidden Factor Behind Female Founder Burnout (It’s Not What You Think) with CEO Angela Johnson

I’ve spent years inside growing businesses, helping founders work through everything from hiring and performance issues to team dynamics and difficult decisions—often at the exact moment things start to feel messy, unclear, or harder than they should.Like a lot of the people I work with, you may have built something successful, but no one handed you a clear playbook for what comes next when you’re responsible for a team.
