You’ve been told clarity comes from action, but what if your “doing” is just your nervous system begging for relief, not progress?

 In this episode, we cut through the noise and name the real problem: urgent action isn’t leadership, it’s self-soothing disguised as progress.

 You’ll learn how to:

  • Spot when your action is hijacked by stress, not strategy
  • Pause before jumping into “fix it” mode
  • Take one small, aligned step that still makes sense tomorrow

 This is for the woman who’s done performing productivity and is ready to lead from grounded clarity.

 If you’ve ever moved fast and still felt stuck—this one’s for you.

 Do the work:

Name the next right step, and take it.

Say it out loud. Write it down. Tell one trusted witness.

That’s how you shift from noise to wisdom and rebuild trust in your own leadership.
