Happy New Year and welcome back to The Settle For More Podcast.

If you started January in catch up mode, doing doing doing, trying to get ahead, this episode is for you. In this conversation, we unpack why more effort is not always the answer and how “catching up” quietly impacts decision quality, clarity, boundaries, and leadership presence.

I’m walking you through the Be. Do. Have method as a practical operating model to help you define who you are becoming in Q1, practise the competencies that match your leadership standard, and create results without paying for them with exhaustion.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear Q1 leadership standard, three simple practices you can implement immediately, and a process to stay consistent for the next 90 days.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why catch up mode is not a leadership strategy

• How to define the leader you are becoming in Q1

• The competencies to practise for real momentum

• How to create results without the exhaustion tax

Reflection question:
Who are you becoming in Q1, and what will you practise first?

In this episode of Settle for More, we’re having a much-needed conversation about why so many women over 40 put themselves last—and the real cost of doing so.

You invest in your home, your family, your career, and even the little luxuries in life. But when it comes to YOU? That’s where the hesitation creeps in.

💡 If you’ve ever told yourself, “It’s too expensive,” “I don’t have time,” or “I’ll figure it out later,”—this episode is for you.

We’ll explore:
✔ The hidden ways you’ve been neglecting your own development.
✔ Why waiting for the “right time” is keeping you stuck.
✔ How to shift your mindset and start investing in yourself without guilt.

📌 Grab a pen and paper—you’ll want to take notes. And if this resonates, share it with a friend who needs this reminder too.
