Most leaders won’t admit this. But Heather will.

Nobody tells you that becoming “the manager” changes everything your friendships, your confidence, and how you show up every single day.

In this episode, Heather gets real about the moment anxiety nearly stopped her in her tracks, and why asking for help turned out to be her biggest leadership superpower.

  • Why asking for help is actually your biggest leadership superpower
  • The 5-minute conversation that can fix almost any work situation
  • How to spot the people who are quietly holding you back
  • How to act with courage even when anxiety is telling you not to
