Why Growth Feels Heavy Without Structure (And How to Fix It)
Growth isn’t supposed to feel this heavy.
If progress depends on constant effort, pushing, and holding everything together, the problem usually isn’t a lack of motivation or discipline; it’s a lack of structure.
In this episode, I discuss why growth can start to feel exhausting when structure isn’t carrying enough weight, how leaders unintentionally compensate with effort, and what it truly takes to make progress feel lighter and more sustainable.
This conversation is about moving from effort-driven growth to momentum-driven growth—so leadership stops feeling fragile and starts feeling steady.
If this episode resonated, share it with a leader who’s carrying too much.
I’ll see you next week.
