What if the exhaustion you've been trying to fix with more sleep is actually resentment asking you to make a leadership decision?
You're probably not as tired as you think you are. In this Thursday Founder's Rant, Dawn unpacks why so many ambitious female founders mistake buried resentment for burnout and why that distinction changes everything.
If you've been overdelivering, undercharging, saying yes when you wanted to say no, or quietly carrying the emotional weight of everyone else's priorities, this episode is for you. You'll leave with a simple leadership check-in that helps you uncover the real source of your exhaustion and one clear action to move forward.
