Let me ask you a question.

Have you ever noticed that the harder you push, the more resistance you feel?

You’re gripping your leadership tighter... but nothing is moving.

You're speaking with more force... but your team seems to be listening less.

You’re putting in more hours... but getting back less clarity, less creativity, and definitely less joy.

This is the story we've been sold.

It's the myth that's been handed down to every ambitious, capable leader. We call it grit. We call it hustle. We call it strength.

We call it Pushing Through.

But what if it's a trap?

What if the very strategy you're using to succeed is the one that's quietly dismantling your well-being, your connection to your team, and your love for the work itself?

What if the solution isn't found in applying more force... but in finding exactly where to release it?

In this podcast we are dismantling The Myth of Pushing Through. We'll explore the neuroscience of why it keeps you stuck, and how the timeless wisdom of the horse can show us a more powerful, more present way to lead.
