Ever had that sinking feeling that a new hire just isn’t working out - but you’re not sure what to do next?
In this episode, we are getting real about one of the hardest parts of leadership: navigating probation periods, spotting red flags, and knowing when (and how) to let someone go.
Elli shares a personal update about her journey into motherhood and what that’s taught her about boundaries, leadership, and grace. Sammy opens up about a recent experience with hiring a manager that didn’t go to plan, and what she learned the hard way about culture misalignment and communication.
In this episode, we cover:
✨ How to use probation periods properly - and why they matter more than you think
✨ Real talk on handling difficult team situations with confidence and clarity
✨ Why clear expectations, regular check-ins, and feedback are non-negotiables
✨ What to do when someone just isn’t the right fit, and how to handle exits with empathy
✨ The leadership growth that comes from tough (but necessary) decisions
Whether you're hiring your first team member or managing a growing crew, this episode will help you build a strong, values-driven team from the ground up.
💬 Hit play to learn how to handle those “it’s not working” moments like a true leader, without losing your mind.
