There comes a point in business when being the “strong one” stops serving you. When the very independence that helped you rise becomes the thing quietly burning you out behind closed doors.
In this solo episode, Lucy Shrimpton explores the quiet trap many powerhouse entrepreneurs fall into: radical self-reliance. She shares how this trait, often celebrated in business, can silently disconnect us from community, support, and emotional resilience. From her own behind-the-scenes struggles, Lucy walks through what happens when you wear the “I can do it all” badge for too long and how unlearning hyper-independence is essential to sustainable success.
This episode is especially relevant for the high-capacity woman who’s used to holding it all together but is starting to feel the cracks. If you’ve ever struggled to ask for help, felt misunderstood as a leader, or found yourself emotionally exhausted by doing it all alone, Lucy’s insights will help you redefine strength, reconnect to support, and build a more balanced business life.
