238: Five Things I'm Embarrassed I Had to Relearn (and What They Taught Me About Leadership, Money, and Showing Up)

This one is a little raw.
A little unpolished.
And very real.

After batch-recording months of episodes and stepping into a new season of leadership, I sat down at the mic for the first time this year and realized something:

The most helpful thing I could share right now isn't a strategy or framework.

It's the truth.

Because even 10 years into business…

even 200+ podcast episodes later…

even as Managing Director of The Restoration Project…

I'm still relearning lessons I swore I already knew.

In this solo episode, I'm walking you through five things I'm honestly a little embarrassed I forgot in 2025 — from avoiding my finances (again) to chasing perfection, rushing relationships, overpacking my calendar, and holding back my voice.

But here's the thing:
Embarrassment usually means growth is happening.

So if you've ever thought, "Shouldn't I be better at this by now?" — this episode is for you.

You're not behind.
You're becoming.

What You'll Hear in This Episode

Why your business finances are a gift (not something to avoid)
The perfectionism + imposter syndrome spiral in new leadership roles
How speed and efficiency quietly erode meaningful relationships
The "Big Three" method that's helping me reclaim my time
Why sugarcoating your voice actually creates more harm than clarity
And the truth: you're allowed to relearn lessons at every age and stage
