TOO RICH TO RELATE
Ep 7. The Cost Of Shame In Leadership
This is a deeply honest conversation that I trust will serve you immensely.
I’m sharing what’s really been happening behind the scenes, how I built a brand I was falling short of living, how I sold strategy when embodiment was the real problem for my clients, and how shame became the pattern I refused to acknowledge.
I talk about the ways I stayed in conversations instead of taking action, how I used the rebrand, but didn’t address the root issue, and what it revealed about my own leadership. I was committed to the business, but I wasn’t showing up like it needed me to. I didn’t like who I was being, and I wasn’t leading in a way I respected.
This episode is me speaking to the unrelatability of being honest with ourselves and owning the responsibility to unburden the shame that’s been compressing our power and leadership.
Inside this episode:
- The shame behind “falling off” after a $330k year and why I couldn’t hold it
- How I created rapid, unsustainable growth by stacking income without real infrastructure
- The real reason I went silent in my business, and the cost of that disconnection
- What happens when you surround yourself with people who normalize not getting results
- How I unconsciously used a rebrand as a Band-Aid instead of facing my own avoidance
- The moment I realized my business looked solid, but I wasn’t actually embodying it
- The difference between “loving yourself” and actually loving who you are
- Why shame is compressed power — and how to reclaim it through grace, compassion, and accountability
Quote:
“Your power is just compressed in your shame.”
“You cannot be in full freedom, ownership, leadership, and power when you are still, in some way, coveting your own shame.”
“Shame is an indicator that you are incapable or unwilling to give yourself either grace, compassion, or accountability.”
