We’ve all said it — “It’s quicker if I just do it myself.” But what if that belief is the very thing holding us back from freedom, leadership growth, and peace? In this episode, I unpack where micromanagement really comes from, why it’s burning working mums out, and how to shift from control to trust — the feminine way of leading with flow instead of force. ✨

Key Takeaways
Micromanagement isn’t control — it’s fear and pressure in disguise. It stems from wanting to perform, time scarcity, and perfectionism.
Doing everything yourself limits your growth. At work, it blocks trust; at home, it reinforces carrying the mental load.
Perfectionism costs your health, joy, and leadership potential. The short-term gain leads to long-term burnout.
The feminine shift is about trust, not lower standards. True leadership is about creating space for others to rise with you.
Freedom starts with letting go. Ask yourself: “Where am I saying it’s quicker if I do it myself — and what would change if I trusted instead?”

Lala Angel Wang

Mum to baby George and a construction professional who has been working in the industry for the last 15 years in Sydney, Australia.

Early on in her career she wasn o stranger to burnout from work.  Having experienced a quarter life crisis in her early 30s, Lala burnt everything down and started from scratch.

Since becoming a mum Lala noticed the lack of guidance and supports are available for corporate women to transition through various stages of their lives and how often she heard about other women talk about the loneliness that they feel as career women, partners wives, and working mums.

Now in her 40s, Lala has a strong desire to share her experiences as well as the experiences of other women around the world so others don't have to make the same mistakes again.

And hopefully bring able to provide the best life and freedom for themselves, as well as the family. It is her desire to support the modern day, corporate woman. To create a life that they truly desire by tapping into their feminine flow through loving themselves, knowing themselves, and reconnecting with themselves.
