How "I should just do it" is blocking your ability to delegate

You handed off the task, so why does your brain still feel like it's doing all the work?
In this episode, I dig into why delegating so often fails to actually give us relief, and it's not because the other person did it wrong. It's because we delegate the task but not the mental load that comes with it.
I break down the two layers behind this: the thoughts that keep you mentally attached to something you've already handed off, and the real fear that it just won't get done well.
I also share the shifts that actually make delegation stick, from getting clear on what "done" means, to accepting B-minus work on purpose, to building trust through repetition instead of perfection.
