Why Leadership Feels Overwhelming After a Promotion (and How to Regain Stability)

Season 4 · Episode 91

Thursday, May 15, 2025 • Duration 09:02

Have you ever been promoted… only to immediately wonder if you were in way over your head?

You’re not alone.

In this episode, I share the real story behind Leadership on the Rocks—and why so many of us experience the mountaintop of promotion, followed by the landslide of reality, and eventually tumble into the valley of despair.

It’s the emotional leadership rollercoaster no one warns you about... and the exact reason I wrote this book.

If you're tired of leading without a map, a mentor, or a survival kit—this episode is for you.

In this episode, I talk about:

Why leadership often feels like a wilderness drop
The emotional and mental toll of being promoted but not prepared
What leaders really need to survive (and thrive) on the rocks
How this book—and this podcast series—can become your trail map back to solid ground

🎒 Ready to preorder the book?

✅ You’ll get a free sneak peek chapter
🎁 And be entered to win a fully stocked survival backpack (yes, a real one)

📖 Leadership on the Rocks releases July 15, 2025—but your journey back to stability starts today.

🎧 Subscribe, share this episode with a leader you love, and I’ll see you in Episode 92 where we unpack the first item in your leadership survival kit: your mindset.

Season 4 · Episode 89

Wednesday, April 16, 2025 • Duration 14:59

In this episode, Bethany Rees introduces the Leadership Survival Kit—a sneak peek into a powerful framework designed to nourish every part of your leadership: your mindset, your relationships, your actions, and your accountability.

The 4 parts of your leadership body: Head, Heart, Hands, and Guts
The essential tools that nourish each area—like identity, purpose, communication, systems, and stewardship

Plus, don’t miss the signature “pour” decision moment and a Bible-based reminder to build your leadership on the rock, not the roll.
