Why Leadership Feels Overwhelming After a Promotion (and How to Regain Stability)

Season #4 Episode #91

Have you ever been promoted… only to immediately wonder if you were in way over your head?

You’re not alone.

In this episode, I share the real story behind Leadership on the Rocks—and why so many of us experience the mountaintop of promotion, followed by the landslide of reality, and eventually tumble into the valley of despair.

It’s the emotional leadership rollercoaster no one warns you about... and the exact reason I wrote this book.

If you're tired of leading without a map, a mentor, or a survival kit—this episode is for you.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • Why leadership often feels like a wilderness drop

  • The emotional and mental toll of being promoted but not prepared

  • What leaders really need to survive (and thrive) on the rocks

  • How this book—and this podcast series—can become your trail map back to solid ground
