372: Why Does It Feel So Hard to Fire Someone?

Have you ever felt sick to your stomach just thinking about firing someone? You’re not alone. In this episode of the Stacking Your Team podcast, I open up about why letting someone go is one of the hardest things we’ll ever do as leaders, especially for women who genuinely care about their teams. I’ll share my experiences, the emotional hurdles I see so many leaders face, and why choosing to let someone go is really an act of grounded, courageous leadership.

I’ll walk you through the mindset shifts that have helped me and the women I coach move from guilt to clarity. Tune in for honest conversation, actionable strategies, and the encouragement to do what’s best not just for your business, but for yourself as a leader.
