When Perseverance Becomes Harmful

#326: You don't have to play fair to win — you just have to play like you know who you are.

This week, we’re re-airing a conversation that’s packed with big energy, boss-level insight, and the kind of clarity that only comes from betting on yourself — again and again.

Tricia Lee is a serial entrepreneur, luxury real estate broker, and breakout star of Owning Manhattan on Netflix. But before the show, before the million-dollar listings, and long before she was mentoring the next generation — she was figuring it out like the rest of us: building businesses, walking away from things that weren’t working, and learning how to stop shrinking her magic to make other people comfortable.

If you're in a season of transition, ready to quit something (or everything), or just need a little reminder of how powerful you already are — this one’s for you.

In This Episode:

• The real reason Tricia left corporate America — and how she used anger to fuel her glow-up
• Knowing the difference between a growth challenge and pure chaos (and why perseverance isn’t always the flex)
• What to do when you're the most prepared and the most underestimated person in the room
• The truth about pivoting: how Tricia went from beauty entrepreneur to top NYC real estate broker
• Mental toughness, mindset shifts, and why being your biggest fan isn’t arrogance — it’s freedom
• How to show up as that version of you, even when you’re still building
• Advice for women who’ve been conditioned to come in last — and are done with it

This is the kind of conversation that makes you sit taller. Save it. Revisit it. Share it with the friend who needs a nudge to take up more space.
