Ep. 094: From Burnout to Balance: Katie O'Malley's Path to Purposeful Leadership

What if burnout isn’t a breakdown - but a signal to realign your life and leadership?

In this episode, I speak with Katie O’Malley, founder of Encourage Coaching, about her transition from high-intensity political campaigns and corporate work to building a values-driven coaching practice.

Katie shares how personal loss, chronic burnout and a hunger for meaning pushed her to re-evaluate her definition of success - and create a career that reflects who she truly is.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How childhood experiences and early career choices shape leadership habits.
What it takes to leave a secure career and build something purpose-driven.
Why self-awareness is essential for sustainable success.
How to ask for help, build support systems and avoid isolation.
The mindset shifts needed to take calculated risks and live with intention.

Topics covered:

Navigating career transitions with clarity and courage
Leadership through the lens of justice, empathy and long-term impact
Burnout recovery and prevention for high-performing professionals
Coaching insights for building an aligned and authentic career path

Katie’s approach blends counseling insights with business strategy to help leaders make decisions rooted in both clarity and courage.

🎧 Watch the full conversation to explore how purpose and practicality can co-exist in your leadership journey.
