As business owners and leaders, we often focus on strategy, scaling, and success—but how often do we focus on ourselves? In the latest episode of The Playful Wise Woman Show, I dive into why prioritizing YOU, the leader, is the most important key to business growth.
Too often, we equate leadership with self-sacrifice. We believe that pushing through, doing it all, and maintaining control will lead to success. But the truth is, neglecting your own needs leads to burnout, strained relationships, and diminished creativity. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from your why, this episode is for you.
Leadership Starts with You
Leadership is not just about being in charge—it’s about energy, mindset, and well-being. If you’re a business owner, parent, or active in your community, your ability to show up for others depends on how well you show up for yourself. When you’re exhausted and running on empty, that energy ripples out into your team, your clients, and your results. But when you prioritize yourself, you create clarity, confidence, and the capacity to lead in a sustainable way.
How to Reconnect with Your Needs
So many of my clients struggle to identify what they actually need. They’ve spent so much time in “go mode” that they’ve lost touch with what fills them up. Here’s a simple practice I encourage:
Pause and ask yourself: What do I need in this moment to feel nourished, grounded, or more at ease?
Set boundaries: Whether it’s a structured work schedule or time off for creative play, boundaries help protect your energy.
Communicate your needs: No one can meet your needs if you don’t voice them—whether that’s with your team, partner, or yourself.
Infuse joy into your business: Prioritizing creativity and play isn’t frivolous—it’s a powerful tool for leadership and innovation.
