Ever felt like you’re running on fumes before your day even begins? As a leader, the pressure to hold it all together—for your team, your projects, your people—can come at the expense of your own wellbeing. And sometimes, the burnout doesn’t look like collapse—it looks like silent exhaustion behind a polished smile.

In this episode of The Courageous Exchange, we’re talking about the realities of burnout in leadership—the quiet toll it takes, why it’s not your fault, and how to begin reclaiming your energy without walking away from the role you care about.

I’ll walk you through:

• What leadership burnout really looks like (it’s not always what you think)

• The neuroscience behind why you’re feeling so depleted

• A moment from my own leadership journey when burnout hit me hard

• The shift from surviving to leading with presence

• A Courage Spark 🔥 and Power Pivot 🔄 to help you reset and move forward

• A bonus meditation in your feed to support your recovery

🧘‍♀️ Bonus: A Burnout Recovery Meditation is available now in your feed—perfect for when you need a quick reset.

Let’s normalize the conversation. Let’s breathe together. And let’s lead in a way that honours your humanity.
