Ep. 009 – From Burnout to Backup: Why You Need a Team

Sooo… do you actually need to build a team? And if so — how do you do it without turning into a bossy nightmare, micromanaging yourself into burnout, or hiring someone who gives off terrible vibes?

In this episode of We Will Manage, Alba and Saoirse dive into the messy middle of team building. We talk about when to delegate, how to work with freelancers or collaborators, and the difference between building support with the work or for the work.

We cover:

• How to know it’s time to stop doing everything yourself
• Why hiring isn’t the only way to build a team
• Real listener dilemmas (hello, friendship boundaries + boss guilt)
• The disaster story that proves team building isn’t about “forced fun”

Plus: stats, voice notes, and a Would You Rather game that makes us question everything.

This is for anyone who’s somewhere between burnt out and bossed up — trying to build something real without losing themselves in the process.

🎧 Tune in, take notes, and maybe fire that sock puppet co-worker. We won’t judge.
