🎙 From Martyr to Mastermind - Rewriting the Questions That Write You

What if the voice in your head isn’t just narrating your life, but scripting your experience?

In this episode, Sheila Delaney explores how the questions we ask in the privacy of our own minds shape our energy, our choices, and ultimately, our identity. Whether you're stuck in self-doubt, rescuing everyone around you, or just feeling off your game, there’s a way through—and it starts with better questions.

From quiet moments at red lights to big decisions in leadership, Sheila unpacks how habitual inquiry locks us into patterns of martyrdom, burnout, and blame—and how to shift into curiosity, creativity, and self-trust.

Whether you’re over-functioning out loud or silently hustling for your worth, this episode invites you to pause, listen, and start asking better questions that let you discover what is possible. Questions that make space for your brilliance, not your burnout.

What if the path to your vitality isn’t in proving what you think you are already sure of, but in daring to ask something new?
