How we show up as leaders at home and work usually differs, you may be like today's guest Heather, who had a disconnect between being a fantastic leader in her business and feeling like she was failing as a parent. Today's interview explores managing your feelings, energy, and triggers at home and in your business.Heather shares her journey between wanting to be a good mother and feeling fulfilled in her career. We explore how you might be addicted to stress and adrenaline and the importance of looking for that high outside your business. We discuss not reacting when you're in your red zone, how Heather operates to ensure her team feels supported even when they mess up, and how she leads by taking ownership of her trigger and the story it's telling her.
