336 You’re Leading the Team — But Quietly Wondering If You Still Belong at the Table

Have you ever wondered—while everyone’s looking to you for answers—if your team might actually be better off with someone else as team leader?

If you’ve been feeling unusually hesitant, second-guessing your decisions, or replaying conversations long after the day ends, you’re not alone—and you’re not “losing it.” This episode speaks directly to that quiet, exhausting leadership spiral where you’re still performing on the outside… but inside you feel like your confidence is slowly eroding. You’ll hear why self-doubt isn’t a sign you’re unqualified—it’s often a sign you care deeply—and how to rebuild your clarity and steadiness without working longer hours or carrying everything alone.

By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with:

• A more grounded way to interpret self-doubt so it stops feeling like proof you’re failing—and starts becoming a signal you can work with

• Practical structure to lead with calm confidence again instead of white-knuckling through decisions and overthinking every conversation

• A clear path to reduce the emotional load of leadership by creating support systems that help your team take more responsibility (so you’re not carrying it all)
