Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah thought she had it figured out completely
Leading meetings, making calls, feeling so elite
But whispers in the hallway told a different story
Her team was drowning while she basked in glory
One brave soul pulled her aside after the presentation
"Your ideas are solid but your execution's breaking"
Truth hit harder than she ever expected
Time to look inside, get her blind spots detected

[Chorus]
Mirror, mirror, show me what I cannot see
Feedback, journal, mentor - trinity of clarity
When I'm soaring high and when I'm crashing down
Self-awareness is the crown
F-J-M-T, that's the recipe
Feedback, Journal, Mentor, Triggers - set me free
Mirror, mirror, now I see what's really me

[Verse 2]
Started scribbling in a notebook every evening
"Today I snapped when deadlines had me seething
But yesterday I listened and my team was beaming"
Patterns emerged from all her daily scheming
Monday mornings brought out her commanding side
Friday afternoons, her patience would subside
After coffee she was sharp as any blade
Without it she was scattered and afraid

[Chorus]
Mirror, mirror, show me what I cannot see
Feedback, journal, mentor - trinity of clarity
When I'm soaring high and when I'm crashing down
Self-awareness is the crown
F-J-M-T, that's the recipe
Feedback, Journal, Mentor, Triggers - set me free
Mirror, mirror, now I see what's really me

[Bridge]
Found a mentor who had walked this road before
"Ask the hard questions, then ask for even more"
Regular check-ins with her trusted crew
"Tell me straight - what should I stop, start, continue?"
No more guessing, no more flying blind
Data points mapping territories of her mind

[Verse 3]
Now she knows her rhythm, knows her danger zones
Pressure makes her micromanage and postpone
But give her space to think, she's innovative
Her morning energy makes her collaborative
The journal holds her victories and defeats
Her mentor helps her connect the scattered beats

[Chorus]
Mirror, mirror, show me what I cannot see
Feedback, journal, mentor - trinity of clarity
When I'm soaring high and when I'm crashing down
Self-awareness is the crown
F-J-M-T, that's the recipe
Feedback, Journal, Mentor, Triggers - set me free
Mirror, mirror, now I see what's really me

[Outro]
Four pillars holding up the leader that I want to be
Truth-tellers and reflection, that's my guarantee
F-J-M-T, building better me
