Marketing Sucks
Boundaries, Burnout, and the Leadership No One Talks About with Natacha Pennycooke
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Marketing Sucks, Amanda sits down with three-time award-winning psychotherapist Natacha Pennycooke for a real, unfiltered conversation about boundaries.
They dive into what is actually happening psychologically when we say yes but mean no, why high-achieving women overfill their plates, and how guilt quietly drives burnout in both motherhood and entrepreneurship
From attachment styles and leadership patterns to money conversations and undercharging, this episode connects the dots between people-pleasing, resentment, team culture, and profit.
If you have ever struggled to say no, charged less than you should, or wondered why your team feels tense or disengaged, this conversation will challenge you to look inward first.
Because boundaries are not just personal.
They shape your business.
