Welcome to The Sow to Speak Podcast. In this special four-part series for Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re diving into topics that often get skipped over—but silently impact how we show up, especially as high-achieving, people-first leaders.
In today’s episode, we’re kicking off with a question that doesn’t show up in calendar invites: How’s your capacity—really?
If you’re feeling tired even after sleeping, snapping more often than you’d like, or wondering why you’re doing all the things but still feel off… this one’s for you.
In this episode, we cover:
Why a jam-packed schedule isn’t the same as healthy capacity (and how to tell the difference)
What your nervous system actually has to do with leadership presence (hint: everything)
The telltale signs that you’re outside your window of capacity—and why it’s not your fault
A 30-second nervous system check-in you can use anytime, anywhere
What it really looks like to honor your energy without compromising your ambition
This episode is an invitation to pause—not just for rest, but for reconnection. Because leadership from the inside out? It starts with awareness.
