Too many leaders are still clinging to the outdated image of being unshakable. But here’s the truth: people don’t connect with perfect leaders, they connect with the human ones.
In this episode of The Danni Vee Show, I sit down with the incredible Chelsea Pottenger, performance coach, founder of EQ Minds, and author of The Mindful High Performer.
Chelsea opens up about her journey through postnatal depression and how it reshaped her understanding of resilience. Together, we dive into the dangers of hustle culture, the importance of presence, and why rest and recovery are not indulgences, they’re essential leadership skills.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
Why vulnerability is a leadership asset, not a weakness
How authenticity builds stronger trust and connection
The role of rest and recovery in sustainable performance
Simple tools to stay grounded and present each day
Power Quote:
“Rest and recovery are not luxuries—they are leadership skills.”
