EP: 4 Breaking the Sacrificer Mentality: How Women Can Set Boundaries, Avoid Burnout and Thrive

“It’s about really taking ownership for what you want to sign up for and how you want to deliver it. And so this means, in some ways, taking a little bit more of the CEO mentality at Work, even if you're not the CEO!" - Shawna Samuel

In this episode of This Is How She Does It, we dive into executive leadership, productivity, and sustainable success with the incredible Shawna Samuel—executive leadership and productivity coach for women, host of the Mental Offload podcast, and founder of the Mental Offload coaching practice.
