Leadership stops working the way it used to because the job changes, even when the strengths that built your career do not. What worked as a director will not automatically work as a VP, and the strengths that earned every promotion so far do not disappear. They just need to be redeployed for the level you are actually leading at now.   You know your success formula without even thinking about it. Hard work. Staying involved. Having the answer before anyone asks. It got you every promotion so far, and lately, it feels heavier than it should. Not because you got worse at leading.   What You'll Hear Why the formula that built your career can stop fitting the role you're actually in Where that heaviness comes from when nothing about your leadership has changed What separates leaders who keep growing from the ones who plateau at the exact level that made them successful   Leadership Pattern to Notice Most leaders don't lose their edge when a promotion outpaces their instincts. They keep running the exact formula that got them there, one level too long, because it has never failed them before. What shows up as heaviness isn't a confidence problem.   Sit With This What strength am I still using in the job I had, instead of the job I have now? Next week, this goes one layer deeper, into what's actually driving the strengths you keep reaching for.   Something I Don't Want You to Miss Your high standards were never the problem. The job just started asking something different of them. That's the whole shift.   Connect If you are ready to see what becomes possible when this shifts, the Aligned Leadership Audit is where that conversation starts. 45 minutes. A clear diagnosis of what's running your leadership right now. http://tamimariecoaching.com/call If This Landed Share it with a leader who needs to hear it. Leave a rating and review.

Your team isn't bringing decisions back to you because they lack confidence. They've learned, often correctly, that approval feels safer than ownership inside a system that was never redesigned for the size you've become. The fix isn't more delegation. It's redesigning where decisions get caught before they ever need to reach you. Episode Overview You've built a team you trust. You still can't fully step back from it. Not because anything's broken. Because something got built into how the whole thing runs, and you were the one who built it, without ever setting out to. What You'll Hear Why capable teams keep handing decisions back, even when nothing about their skill has changed The invisible rules every organization runs on that nobody ever wrote down What's actually being asked underneath every "what do you think?" What changed for one leader, without adding a single new approval step Leadership Pattern to Notice Most leaders assume the fix is approving less. But watch what's actually happening the next time someone brings you something they didn't need to bring you. They're not checking whether they got it right. They're checking whether you'll still be behind them if it goes wrong. Sit With This What signal have I consistently sent that makes bringing it back to me the safest option? What's Coming Next This series keeps building one layer at a time, and the next conversation moves from the system underneath your team to the strength underneath you. Something I Don't Want You to Miss You already know how to build systems. You've done it your whole career. You've just never called it that when it came to decisions.

Smoking and going to that cool gig... think you left caving to peer pressure behind at high school? Scientist and social entrepreneur Todd Rose says we're still desperately doing our best to fit in, whether we realise it or not!In this chat with Fearne, Todd explains that it feels important to hold the ‘correct' opinions in the eyes of our social group. Why? As humans we're wired to want to belong to a community, so often misrepresent our values for fear of upsetting others.The word ‘authenticity' is thrown around a lot, but what does it really mean? Todd explains how to make sure your public self aligns with your public self so you're not living in a state of confusion and anxiety.Plus, why not speaking your mind has very real implications on your physical health, and how self-silencing is affecting everything from your friendships to how you vote.Todd's book, Collective Illusions, is out now.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:Dr Julie SmithPatric GagneBreak free from people pleasing Hosted on Acast.

Your team isn't bringing everything back to you because they can't decide. They're reading a signal you're sending without knowing it, and that signal is teaching them what to do every time. The fix isn't more training. It's seeing the signal.   Your team stopped listening to your words a long time ago. They're reading your behavior instead, and they're more accurate than you think. Every time what you say and what you do don't quite match, your team doesn't get confused. They get information. This episode names the gap most leaders never see, and shows you exactly what's been teaching your culture without your permission. What You'll Hear The real reason your team trusts your actions over your words Why repetition builds culture faster than any training program does What one leader discovered was happening underneath his own organization The question that starts to shift everything the moment you ask it Leadership Pattern to Notice There's a gap most capable leaders carry without ever naming it: what they say and what they do are running two different conversations, and their team only believes one of them. It isn't a confidence problem and it isn't a communication problem. It's a signal problem, and signal problems stay invisible until someone finally points at them. Sit With This What signal is my team receiving from me every single day? Ready to discover the gap for yourself? http://tamimariecoaching.com/call  Enjoyed the Episode?

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of The Book Fix Podcast, your hosts Yajaira and Cheli dive into Happy Place by Emily Henry—aka emotional damage disguised as a beach read.Harriet and Wyn were that couple—college sweethearts who just made sense… until they didn't. Six months post-breakup (that no one knows about), they find themselves stuck sharing a bedroom during their annual friend group trip to a Maine cottage that's about to be sold. So naturally, they do the most logical thing possible: pretend they're still together for one last week. What could go wrong?Between forced proximity, fake dating, and a friend group that feels a little too real, this book serves nostalgia, tension, and heartbreak with a side of coastal vibes. We're talking miscommunication, longing stares, and the kind of love that maybe never actually went away.Join us as we spiral over second chances, debate whether we'd survive this friend group dynamic, and ask the real question: is this a comfort read… or an emotional setup?Support the showOur Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thebookfix?utm_source=linktree_admin_sharebecome our Patron ♡ https://www.patreon.com/BookFixbuy us a book ♡ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thebookfixBusiness Inquiries: thebookfixpodcast@gmail.comfollow us on Tiktok! ♡  https://www.tiktok.com/@thebookfix

This is essentially what Adam Kay was told when a traumatic day at work left him with PTSD.In this chat with Fearne, former doctor Adam explains why he made the decision to leave the medical profession, and puts a spotlight on the poor mental health of our NHS workers. Adam talks about how, in his case, the job left him feeling paranoid and overcautious, and how he turned to diary writing to process his emotions.They chat about how we can all chip away at any mental health stigma in both the workplace and at home with loved ones, and offer advice for how to put together your own mental health toolkits for crises of varying severity.A Particularly Nasty Case by Adam Kay is out in paperback 2nd July (published by Orion).CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains frank conversation about suicide.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:Nicole LaPeraSam ClaflinJamie Laing Hosted on Acast.

Picture walking into a week where your calendar already has the right things on it. The decisions you handed off held. The project that took a turn got handled before it reached you. Your team walked in knowing what to bring to you and what to own. That room exists. And in this episode, I name exactly what it takes to get there.   INSIDE THE EPISODE What Tuesday actually looks like right now Before 9am the questions start. The decisions that belong to your team are already landing on your lap. I name the moment most leaders recognize themselves in and why it keeps happening.   What you have been trained to do that is working against you You are not doing anything wrong. You are doing exactly what made you excellent at the last level. There is a name for what that creates at this one.   Why delegation training did not fix it Not a delegation problem. Not a communication problem. Not a boundaries problem. I name what it actually is and why that distinction changes everything.   The room I want you to walk into I paint it specifically. Not aspirational. Not theoretical. The week that becomes possible when the signal shifts.   WHAT TO TAKE WITH YOU Your team is not failing you. They are following your lead exactly. That is the whole point. Leadership runs on signals, not announcements. Your title changed. The signal did not. That gap is where the routing lives. Being the answer was the job at the last level. At this one it is the obstacle. Not because you became less capable. Because the role requires something different now.   SIT WITH THIS What signal are you still sending that belongs to the leader you were two levels ago?   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE The Friction Factor names what is underneath the routing before it becomes a leadership identity problem. Free, research backed, and built so you can see exactly where the gap is.

She ended the day at 4:45 with her real work still untouched. Got up. Went home. Came back and did it again. If that landed anywhere, this episode was built for you. I give a name to something a lot of leaders at your level are living right now and have not had the language for. And I give you two things you can do differently tomorrow.   INSIDE THE EPISODE Four questions worth sitting with honestly Before I name it, I ask you to answer four things. Not in your head the way you do when you are half listening. Actually stop and answer them.   What quiet cracking is and what it is not It is not burnout. It is not a character flaw. It is something more specific than either of those and more important to name.   What it looks like from the inside The conversations that used to feel like culture now feel like a drain. The goals you were hired to move have not been touched in weeks. Not because you forgot. I name what is underneath that.   What becomes possible when it shifts I paint the day you are building toward. It is not a fantasy. It is what gets addressed when you stop managing it at the surface.   Two things you can do tomorrow Not a framework. Not a system overhaul. Two moves. Either one changes something.   WHAT TO TAKE WITH YOU There is a name for what you have been carrying. Hearing it does something that managing it never will. The things we do not name, we manage. And managing something unnamed is exhausting in a way a long weekend does not fix. You did not work your way to this level to spend it being everyone else's answer.   SIT WITH THIS When you think about the leader you are at your very best, the one with real vision, the one who makes decisions that hold, the one who walks in the room and leads.

For Ashley Roberts, dance was her self-expression and meditation. Then, at the height of her Pussycat Dolls fame the art she loved became tangled up in extreme burnout and body shaming.In this chat with Fearne, Ashley explains how discovering breathwork brought her back to herself after a period of intense anxiety and physical ill-health. Now, the Pussycat Dolls are making a comeback in their 40s, and this time round they're doing it with a bigger focus on having more fun and giving fewer f*cks.There's a lot of mental illness in her family, so Ashley talks about the mental health toolkit she's creating for herself, as well as the grief of losing her dad to suicide. Plus, she and Fearne both suffer from insomnia, so share what works – and what really doesn't – for each of them.The Pussycat Dolls will be touring Europe in summer 2026.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:Leigh-Anne PinnockLeAnne RimesPaloma Faith Hosted on Acast.

AI can give you a competent answer. It cannot give you your judgment. The leaders who are using AI well are not the ones replacing their read on the room with it. They are the ones who bring their judgment first and use AI as the tool after. That distinction is the difference between generic output and a decision that sounds like you.   WHAT THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT You are using AI and using it well. And you are still walking away from it feeling like something is missing. That feeling has a name. And it is not a problem with the tool. This episode is about what AI cannot replicate at your level, why it matters more right now than it ever has, and the one shift that changes everything you get back from it.   INSIDE THE EPISODE The gap you have already felt but not named You have noticed it. I name it.   Knowledge versus judgment They are not the same thing. The difference is everything at your level.   The shortcut that is costing you I share a personal example. You will recognize yourself in it.   What it looks like when you go in with your judgment first This is the shift. And it changes what you get back.   What I am building with clients right now AI that is actually trained on you. There is a difference between a tool and a tool that knows your wiring.   WHAT TO TAKE WITH YOU There is a name for what AI cannot give you. It is not a soft skill and it is not a mindset. Press play. The shortcut feels efficient. I talk about what it is quietly costing you at your level. The leaders who are using AI well are doing one thing differently before they ever open a prompt.   SIT WITH THIS When you go to AI for an answer, are you bringing your judgment with you, or are you waiting for AI to give you one?   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE The Friction Factor is the research report I referenced in this episode. It pulls from over 60,000 leaders across Gallup, Harvard Business Review, and McKinsey and names something happening at the senior level that nobody is talking about out loud.

Your team is capable. You know that better than anyone. So when everything keeps routing back through you, the instinct is to look at them. More delegation. Better processes. Clearer expectations. None of that is the real fix. In this episode, I name the one thing your team is missing and why giving it to them changes every conversation after it.   INSIDE THE EPISODE The signal most leaders misread When your team keeps bringing things back to you, it is not about their capability. It is about information. I break down what that signal is actually telling you.   The story that changed how I see this One leader. One meeting. A team that went from routing everything through her to running three steps ahead. Here is exactly what she did and what shifted.   The picture you are carrying that your team does not have You have been in every closed-door meeting. You carry the full strategic context. Your team carries the task. That gap is where the routing lives, and it is smaller to close than you think.   What Monday looks like on the other side I paint the inbox you actually want. The messages that come in when your team has what they need to trust their own read on the situation.   WHAT TO TAKE WITH YOU Your team is not coming back to you because they cannot handle it. They are coming back because they do not have what they need to trust their own judgment on the call. The leaders who stop being the answer to everything are not better at delegating. They are better at sharing the picture. The context your team is missing is probably already in your head. You just forgot they did not have it.   SIT WITH THIS What strategic context are you carrying in your head that your team does not have? Not because you are protecting it. Because it never occurred to you that they did not already have it, or that they needed it.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE The Invisible Weight, my free private audio series for leaders carrying more than they should have to right now.

Stress is never going away, but Dr. Gary Sprouse believes we can change the way we understand and manage it. In this episode of Health Coach Conversations, Cathy Sykora talks with Dr. Sprouse about why many people who feel overwhelmed may not be depressed—they may simply be carrying too many problems at once. He explains how worry, guilt, regret, low self-esteem, and overwhelm can be side effects of valuable human skills, and why the goal is not to lose those skills but to reduce the side effects. Dr. Sprouse also shares practical tools like "delumping," the empathy wall, realistic optimism, and the worry organizer to help people separate stressors, shift perspective, and regain control. This conversation is especially helpful for health coaches and practitioners who support clients through stress, overwhelm, and behavior change. In this episode, you'll discover: Why Dr. Sprouse says stress is an unavoidable part of adapting to a changing world How worry, guilt, regret, overwhelm, boredom, and low self-esteem can be side effects of human skills Why some people labeled as depressed may actually be overwhelmed How "delumping" helps separate problems so they feel more manageable What the "happy place" is and why it includes gratitude, joy, anticipation, fulfillment, contentment, connection, safety, humor, and hope How health coaches can use an "empathy wall" to care about clients without taking on their stress How realistic optimism and a worry organizer can help clients stop spiraling and take practical action Memorable Quotes: "Stress is our adaption to a changing world with our changing self." "The majority of human stresses are side effects to having a skill." "The more separate you keep them, the less overwhelmed you're going to be."

Psychologist Dr Julie Smith reckons affirmations only work to boost confidence if – deep down – you already believe them.In this chat with Fearne, Julie explains why your brain needs evidence, not mantras, to change your critical inner voice and build self-worth.

This one is personal. This is not a leadership framework episode. This is my story -- and I shared it because I think it belongs here. Fifteen years of Memorial Days. Fifteen years of going back to DC with my kids. Walking the same halls. Watching new families walk in carrying that same fresh weight we carried the first time. Someone asked me once how I am different from the families who have been coming for twenty-five years and are still standing in the same place emotionally. I told them -- I am not different. My choices are. That is what this episode is about. Not the circumstances. What we do with them. WHAT WE COVER I take you inside what it felt like to walk into that space for the first time -- surrounded by hundreds of people who did not need an explanation, who understood exactly what it meant to carry this specific kind of loss. I talk about what fifteen years of that same trip looks like now -- how the grief has changed, how my family has changed, and what I see when I walk through those halls today that I could not see in the beginning. And I share the five words I heard the day my world collapsed that I did not understand then -- but I do now.   SOMETHING I WANT YOU TO CARRY You are not defined by what happened to you. You are shaped by what you chose to do after. Those are not the same thing -- and the difference between them is the whole story. The circumstances are not a choice. What we do with them always is. Sit With This Which hard are you carrying right now that was never yours to keep -- and which one is building something worth keeping? Enjoyed the Episode?

One in six women arriving at Dr Louise Newson's menopause clinic have suicidal thoughts. 92% see those thoughts reduce with natural hormones, so why are women still being prescribed antidepressants instead?In this chat with Fearne, Louise explains why women are being misdiagnosed with depression or anxiety when the root cause is hormonal.

You've run it through every filter. Looked at it from every angle. Sat with it at 3 am. The decision settled. And THEN you opened it back up. Not because something changed. Because trusting your own read is harder than making the call in the first place. In this episode, Tami opens a brand new series by naming what it actually costs when decisions don't hold -- and what becomes possible when they finally do. This one is personal. It starts with a story about a leader who built something from nothing, loved it, lost the love, and slowly found his way back. And it ends with the one question that changes what you do with next week.   WHAT YOU'LL HEAR Why the most exhausting part of leadership is rarely the decision itself. What it looks like when a leader keeps reopening something that already settled. The difference between a decision that was wrong and a decision that wasn't trusted. What changes when a leader finally lets a decision hold. Why this series exists and where it is going.   LEADERSHIP PATTERN TO NOTICE There is a specific kind of exhaustion that shows up in high-performing leaders who are excellent at what they do. It is not the exhaustion of overwork, though the hours are real. It is the exhaustion of making the same decision multiple times. The decision was made. It was right. And then new information came, or the weight of it got heavier, and it got reopened. Leaders who carry this pattern are not lacking confidence in the traditional sense. They are carrying a gap between knowing and trusting. The decision and the trust in it are not the same thing. Most leaders have never been told that.   CONCEPTS INTRODUCED This episode introduces the gap between a decision that settled and the trust required to let it hold. Tami also opens the new series, What You're Already Built For, and names the thread that will carry through the next several weeks: the wiring already in you that you have been second-guessing, editing, or waiting to fully own.   SIT WITH THIS What have you already decided that you keep reopening? Not because it was wrong. Because you haven't let yourself trust it yet.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The decision wasn't the problem. The trust was. When a decision doesn't hold, it doesn't disappear. It comes back with everything attached to it. The leaders who get their footing back are not the ones who finally got more information. They are the ones who stopped second-guessing the information they already had. Your body made that call before your brain finished building the case. That is not a flaw. That is wiring. Letting a decision hold is not passivity. It is one of the highest-leverage moves a senior leader can make. Enjoyed the Episode?

Leadership gets harder at senior levels not because the role gets worse, but because the weight accumulates without a system for what to put down. Experience increases visibility and stakes but does not reduce the load. What changes it is understanding your own wiring — how you define responsibility, what you carry out of habit, and what was never yours to carry in the first place. You have earned this seat. You know how to lead. And still, the weight of it follows you home. Not because something is wrong. Because no one told you to put any of it down. This is the final episode of the Leadership Myths series. Tami saved this one for last. Because this is the one every leader she has worked with has been carrying, and almost no one wants to say it out loud.   What You'll Hear What experience actually gives you at this level and what it does not A real client story that changed how one VP understood what he was carrying The difference between load-bearing weight and weight you picked up somewhere along the way What becomes possible when that distinction finally becomes clear   Leadership Pattern to Notice There is a version of responsibility that was built for a different level of leadership. It served you then.
