You might even have the opportunity sitting right in front of you. And yet... you can't seem to make yourself do it. You're not confused about what needs to happen. You've got ambition coming out of your ears. But somewhere between knowing and doing, there's this gap. This heaviness. This "I know, I know, but I just... can't right now."This episode of Career Espresso is about what to do when your drive is intact but your fuel tank is empty. Not motivation tips. Not goal-setting advice. The real work of keeping going when you've got nothing left to give.What you'll discoverThe difference between "I've given up" and "I'm depleted" and why that distinction mattersWhat minimum viable progress looks like when you're running on emptyWhy pushing harder when you're exhausted just digs a deeper holeHow to match your actions to your actual energy instead of the energy you think you should haveThe extra costs women carry that often go unacknowledged and how they drain you fasterListen to this episode if you still care about your goals but haven't got the energy to chase them right now.Want more support with real-world leadership challenges?

13:38|Why your career doesn't need a January resetIt's January and somewhere between the break ending and the first full week back, the pressure kicked in. New year, new you. Time to have a plan. Time to finally figure out what you're doing. And if you haven't got all that sorted yet, there's this creeping feeling that you're already behind. That everyone else has it together and you're still just working it out. This episode of Career Espresso is about why you don't need to start over, and why continuing is actually a much stronger position to be in.What you'll discover-Why the January reset pressure hits women differently and lands on top of everything else you're already carrying-The difference between genuine motivation and pressure-driven anxiety, and how to recognise which one is in the driving seat-Why treating yourself like something that needs demolishing and rebuilding every January keeps you in a permanent state of starting over-What actually counts as progress, including all the quiet stuff you've been dismissing-How recalibration beats reset when you're feeling the pressure to change everything-Perfect for women who feel behind in January but don't actually need to throw everything out and start again.Want more support with real-world leadership challenges?

13:35||Season 6, Ep. 99I can't stop doing everything myselfYou're reviewing something your team has done and it's good. But you find yourself tweaking it anyway. Adjusting the wording, reorganising a section, adding something they didn't think of. Or someone asks you a question and instead of pointing them toward figuring it out, you just answer it. Because it's quicker. Because it's easier than watching them work through it.This episode of Career Espresso is about how to actually let go when letting go feels uncomfortable. Not the theory of delegation. The real work of stepping back when every instinct tells you to stay involved.What you'll discover-What genuinely changes when you get this right (not just time back, but the mental load that's exhausting you)-Why letting go is so hard for women leaders specifically and why it's not just that you haven't found the right system yet-How to hand things over properly so they actually stay handed over instead of boomeranging back to you-What "good enough" actually means when you're used to controlling the output-Why waiting until delegation feels comfortable means you'll be waiting foreverPerfect for leaders who know they need to stop doing everything but aren't sure how to actually let go without things falling apart.Want more support with real-world leadership challenges?

16:42||Season 6, Ep. 98How to find your people as a leaderYou're in a leadership role and something's shifted. The people you used to talk things through with? That's complicated now. Your team can't be your sounding board because you're their boss. Your own boss has their own agenda. And the networking advice you see everywhere feels exhausting when what you actually need is someone you can be real with.This episode of Career Espresso is about finding people who actually get what you're dealing with. Not networking contacts or professional visibility. Actual people who understand leadership from the inside.What you'll discover* Why isolation isn't just uncomfortable - it makes you make worse decisions and lose perspective on how you're doing* The three criteria that define your actual people (not just professional contacts)* Where to look for peer relationships that work, including the people you're probably overlooking* How to start these connections without it feeling awkward* What keeps leadership relationships alive when you're overwhelmedPerfect for women leaders who need people they can be honest with, not just a professional network.Want more support with real-world leadership challenges?

At the end of every day, you look back at everything that went wrong, everything you didn't get to, everything that's still not quite right. What you're not noticing? Your team is functioning.

This episode of Career Espresso is about recognising what's actually working, even when it doesn't feel like anything is.What you'll discoverWhy your attention naturally goes to problems and how that creates a skewed picture of realityThe research on why women attribute success to luck but blame themselves entirely for failureThe exhausting pattern of constantly preparing for the next crisis instead of noticing what's going wellHow to see the full picture instead of just the problem-shaped bitsPerfect for women leaders who are doing better than they think but can't quite believe it.Want more support with real-world leadership challenges?

13:49||Season 6, Ep. 96How to have career conversations that helpYou schedule a career conversation and both of you immediately feel that slight dread. You ask where they see themselves in five years. They give a polished answer that means nothing. You both tick the box and move on. Nothing actually changes. This episode of Career Espresso is about having career conversations that actually help people—not as a performance review exercise or a tick-box requirement, but as a genuine conversation about what's possible and what you can do to support them.What you'll discoverWhy career conversations feel awkward or surface-level for most leaders What people actually need from these conversations (it's not "where do you see yourself in five years?") How to ask questions that open up real conversation instead of extracting rehearsed answers What to do when someone doesn't know what they want How to support growth without making promises you can't keep Perfect for women leaders who want these conversations to feel useful instead of awkward.Want more support with real-world leadership challenges?
