Summary
She was a Senior Director. Maybe a VP. Performing at a high level. Then something happened. She walked away. Told herself it was just a reset. At first, it felt right. Even necessary. Months later, she tried to come back… and nothing was landing the way it used to. Something had shifted. Not in her capability. In something else. In this episode, I share a hard truth most people don't talk about - the hidden cost of stepping away, and why getting back in isn't as simple as you think.
