We’re halfway through the year - how’s your energy? How’s your burnout? Whether you’re running a company or running after your kids, today’s episode is for anyone performing at a high level and trying to hold it all together.

 

We’re talking about what true wellness looks like when your schedule is packed, your sleep is low, and the pressure is high. From micro-movements to balance training, executive burnout to bedtime hacks, we share what actually works for building long-term strength and clarity. Because wellness isn’t just a workout - it’s how you show up in every moment.

Some key takeaways from this episode :

• Wellness starts at the top. If leaders prioritize their health, their teams will too. Model the behavior. Culture shift begins with boundaries, rest, and movement.

• You can’t pour from an empty tank. Sleep hygiene isn’t optional - it’s your foundation. We’re sharing how we actually wind down (and what gets in the way).

• Movement doesn’t have to be an hour. Walk the stairs. Do 30 squats. Meditate for five minutes. “Snack-sized” wellness moments can still make a big impact.
