High-performing women often hold the emotional weight of their teams and organisations - quietly, constantly, and at great personal cost. In this episode, Tracy Tutty dives deep into the hidden world of emotional labour at work. You'll discover how hyper-empathy, people-pleasing, and unconscious caregiving patterns may be shaping your leadership more than you think. Tracy reveals how this often-invisible emotional load can dull your edge, drain your presence, and distort your boundaries - not just with others, but with yourself. We'll explore: Why emotional attunement makes you a powerful leader (until it doesn't) The real cost of "If they're okay, I'm safe" How mothering instincts leak into professional spaces and limit team growth Why boundaries are a nervous system recalibration, not a mindset hack What leadership looks like when emotional labour becomes a choice, not a compulsion This isn't about fixing you. It's about freeing you. So you can lead with clarity, connection, and a presence that feels fully yours.
