What is it really costing you to be the one who jumps in and fixes everything for everyone?

On the outside, it looks like leadership.

You’re reliable. Capable. The one people trust.

But behind the scenes?

It’s exhausting. It’s constant.

And at some point… it starts to cost you more than you realise.

In this season finale of The Lucy Gernon Show, I share my most vulnerable confession yet one that isn’t about the past, but about right now.

Because even as a coach to high-performing women leaders, I found myself slipping back into the very pattern I teach others to break.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying everything at work, at home, in your leadership role, this episode will make you pause and show you a different way forward.

Tune in to Discover:

• Why being “the fixer” is silently holding back your leadership impact
• The hidden cost of over-responsibility for women in leadership
• Lucy’s Fixer to Leader Framework and how to apply it in real life
• What strategic self-sacrifice actually means (and when it’s necessary)
• How to stop rescuing your team and start developing them through coaching

What does it really take to succeed as a female comedian in a male-dominated industry?

Not just the punchlines.

Not just the viral moments.

But the grit, the resilience, the business strategy, and the confidence to back yourself when the spotlight is on.

In this week's episode of The Lucy Gernon Show, I am joined by the incredible Enya Martin, the woman behind the viral Facebook sensation Giz A Laugh who has gone from posting two-minute comedy videos over a decade ago to selling out arenas across Ireland and as far as Australia.

But this conversation goes far deeper than comedy.

You’ll hear a more vulnerable side of Enya. A woman who has built a global brand, navigated business ownership, and developed the kind of confidence that allows her to stand alone on stage, in rooms traditionally dominated by men and own it.

If you are a woman in leadership who wants to build bold confidence, sharpen your executive presence, and back yourself unapologetically, this episode is unmissable.

Tune in to discover:

• What it really takes to succeed as a female comedian in a male-dominated industry
• The business mindset behind building and scaling a personal brand
• How confidence is developed when you repeatedly put yourself in uncomfortable rooms
• The mindset shifts required to go from viral moments to sustainable long-term success
• Lessons in visibility, resilience, and backing yourself even when it feels scary
• How to build presence on stage (and in leadership) without losing your authenticity
