Own It with Samantha Warren 333. Give Yourself a Promotion: Your Leadership Needs an Identity Upgrade for the Next Era
This is the final episode of Own It for 2025 and Samantha isn’t wrapping the year with a tidy bow… she’s calling you out and calling you forward.
This episode is about outgrowing who you used to be—and having the courage to admit it. Not intellectually. Not conceptually. But operationally. In your business. In your leadership. In your identity.
Samantha breaks down why your past isn’t something to escape—it’s data. Data that shows you exactly where you’ve been capping yourself, over-functioning, or playing a role that no longer fits. She shares personal examples of stepping out of being “everything to everyone” and into the real work of CEO-level leadership, along with client stories that expose the cost of staying stuck in outdated roles.
If you’ve been feeling burned out, restless, plateaued, or quietly resentful of the business or life you built—this episode is your permission slip to stop forcing it and promote yourself.
Because leadership isn’t about doing more.
It’s about becoming different.
