Director File: Holding It All Together
“I feel like I’m holding everything together… and I don’t know how much longer I can keep doing it.”
In this month’s Director File, Leeza shares a powerful and deeply relatable letter from a director who is caught in the cycle of supporting everyone else… while slowly burning out themselves.
This episode explores:
• The blurred lines between connection and over-supporting your team
• The emotional load of being “the one everyone goes to”
• Why creating a safe culture can sometimes go too far
• The hidden leadership patterns that create dependency
• The shift from rescuing → leading
This is a raw and honest conversation that so many leaders will resonate with.
💛 If you’ve ever felt like you are carrying everything… this episode is for you.
