“They just don’t get me…” – the silent struggle

“I just want someone who gets me.” 


Every leader I’ve worked with has said this at some point.


But here’s what I gently ask them in return:


Have you shown them how you think? 

Have you taught them what matters to you? 

Have you revealed your non-negotiables?


Support staff aren’t mind readers. They’re not supposed to be. But the right person can absolutely act like one — when given access to your inner world.


The deepest partnerships I’ve helped build didn’t start with better systems. 


They started with real transparency

→ Naming the priorities. 

→ Owning the fears. 

→ Stating what you don’t want to manage anymore.


It’s not about giving up control — it’s about co-creating clarity.


If you want your support person to act like a strategic partner, they need to understand the strategy — not just the tasks.


And if you’re not sure how to build that kind of relationship, that’s the work I do.


🌀 I help women leaders rewire how they communicate, delegate, and lead — so they feel deeply supported in the business and the body.


The result? You finally stop the silent struggle saying, “they don’t get me” — because someone finally does.
