What if the path to high performance starts with doing… less?

In a first for Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors, Erica welcomes her very first male guest: visionary entrepreneur and marketing expert George Bryant. But George isn’t here to talk about sales funnels and KPIs—he’s here to get real about burnout, misalignment, and the emotional toll of always being “on.”

Together, they unpack why high-achieving women often wrap their worth in job titles, productivity, and perfection—and how to start untangling that mess with compassion, curiosity, and yes… even stillness.

Inside the episode:
✳️ Why people aren’t their job titles—and what happens when we forget that
✳️ The power of creating space to just be (without your phone)
✳️ Nervous system regulation 101: small tools that create big shifts
✳️ George’s H.E.A.R.T. framework and how to apply it to personal growth, not just business
✳️ The one free, overlooked practice that can instantly help you reset
✳️ Plus: Erica’s card game for deeper family dinners, and the surprising leadership lesson from a massage table

If you’ve been grinding through your goals on autopilot, this episode is your invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the human behind the hustle.
