In this episode of Sacred Boardroom, Heather Wick sits down with LaNae Fisk, a psychologist living in New Zealand, to talk about burnout, balance, and bringing spirituality into business. LaNae shares her journey from the U.S. to New Zealand and how the cultural shift—especially the Māori emphasis on identity and community—reshaped her perspective on work and well-being.
They dive into the realities of burnout, how societal expectations (especially for moms) play a role, and why self-care isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. LaNae shares practical ways to combat burnout, from setting boundaries at work to embracing hobbies, prioritizing sleep, and using mindfulness techniques like meditation.
This conversation also explores how spirituality can be woven into business for a more holistic approach, how different cultures approach mental health, and why celebrating others is a powerful way to create a supportive, thriving community. If you’ve ever felt the weight of burnout or struggled with balancing work and life, this episode is packed with insights to help you navigate it all with more ease and intention.
Key Takeaways:
Tune in for a conversation that’s equal parts insightful and uplifting—one that will leave you thinking differently about how you show up for yourself, your work, and your community.
