"I broke down after mowing the lawn. Not because I was tired—but because of what it represented."

When I became a single mom, mowing the lawn became one of the most emotionally exhausting tasks of my life. Not because it was hard physically. But because it was new, unfamiliar, and loaded with stress I didn't expect.

Change does that. Even simple things can feel like mountains.

In this episode of the Business Building Blocks Podcast, we unpack:

• Why most change efforts fail without one crucial step
• The hidden emotional toll your team faces during transitions
• And how to lead with empathy, not just execution

This isn’t just about strategy—it’s about support.

If you lead a team, manage a household, or are navigating personal change—this one’s for you.

I brought them in.
I gave the feedback.

I thought it was done. But nothing changed.

Ever felt that? Like you’re repeating the same conversation over and over — and wondering if it’s you?

Here's what I’ve learned:

💬 ‘That’s not accompanied accountability. That’s sink or swim.’

If you’re a leader, parent, coach, or just someone trying to help people grow — this episode is for you.

In real life, feedback isn’t one conversation. It’s walking with someone while they’re still learning.

Maybe the problem isn’t the feedback. Maybe it’s that we expected change without accompaniment.

You might just say… “Oh shoot, this is me.”

😳 I snapped. I got defensive. And I shut down.
All because of one piece of feedback.

I was further into my career than you’d think. I should’ve handled it better… but my body went into full panic mode.
Not because the feedback was harsh—
…but because of the shame I’d attached to it.

💭 What if feedback doesn’t have to feel like failure?
What if your reaction isn’t a flaw—but a clue?

🎧 Episode 57 is raw, real, and it’s for every high-achiever who’s ever felt wrecked by a single comment.
