The Hidden Reason Boundaries Fail High-Achieving Women, and What to Do About It
Description
What if your struggle with boundaries isn’t about saying no, but about what you believe you’re allowed to need?
In this deeply honest conversation, I sit down with Jennie Yang, former HR executive turned founder of Chief Mama Officer, to explore the hidden patterns that cause even the most capable women to override their own needs in leadership, business, and motherhood.
From navigating postpartum expansion to leaving behind a high-level tech role, Jennie shares the story behind her decision to build a new paradigm of leadership: one rooted in somatic wisdom, emotional intelligence, and conscious self-awareness.
We discuss:
- Why so many high-functioning women unconsciously lead from survival patterns
- How past authority dynamics (hello, childhood) show up in our teams and partnerships
- A simple yet powerful somatic method to trace limiting beliefs back to their root
- The “clearing model” Jennie uses to resolve conflict in work and relationships
- What it really means to anchor your leadership in your desired feeling state
Whether you’re setting boundaries that aren’t sticking, attracting the same frustrating dynamics, or just craving a more embodied way to lead—this one’s for you.
