You delivered a brilliant presentation. People loved it. You got great feedback. You should be celebrating.

So why do you feel like it wasn't enough?

In this unscripted and vulnerable episode, Chloe Temple planned to talk about purpose leadership—then realised five minutes before recording that she needed to address the shadow side instead. Fresh from therapy and sitting in the gap between a successful week and profound disappointment, she shares what's really happening when high standards become saboteurs.

You'll discover:

• The three dominant leadership saboteurs: the Achievement Addict, the Over-Deliverer, and the People Pleaser
• Why the gap between your expectations and reality is what creates disappointment—even after wins
• How people pleasing disguises itself as virtue (commitment, consistency, showing up for others)
• The difference between Performance Leadership shadows (never enough) and Purpose Leadership shadows (giving too much)
• Why you can appear to lead brilliantly whilst abandoning leadership of your own life
• How to tell if you're leading from purpose or just trying to control how others perceive you
• The real cost of perfectionism: it's not a high standard, it's an impossible one

Chloe also gets honest about the voice that says "shouldn't you hide your struggles if you're a coach?"—and why sharing them anyway is living her Why: to spark change so we can simply be our true selves.

If you're exhausted from trying to meet your own impossible standards, burning out from over-giving, or people-pleasing your way through leadership—this raw conversation will help you spot which saboteurs are running your life.
