Leadership Is Evolving—With or Without You

What if burnout isn’t a badge of honor—but a sign your leadership model is outdated?

In this powerful conversation, Katie sits down with Dr. Lynnea Brumbaugh founder of Executive OS and trusted advisor to executive teams navigating change without emotional chaos.

With experience working alongside organizations like MetLife and Gen X Consulting, Dr. Nne helps leaders move from artificial harmony to conscious clarity—without losing performance or profitability.

This episode is a masterclass in:

• Why mentorship matters more than management
• The generational shift redefining leadership
• How artificial harmony quietly sabotages teams
• The role of nervous system regulation in executive decision-making
• Why self-awareness is the most important leadership skill of 2026
• Integrating the The Enneagram into team dynamics
• How energetic practices belong in corporate spaces
• What it means to lead from presence instead of pressure

Dr Brumbaugh vulnerably shares her personal transformation—from childhood cancer and multiple near-death experiences to betrayal, breakdown, and rebuilding her life from a place of deep awareness.

This is not just a leadership conversation.

It’s a consciousness conversation.

And it will change how you see burnout, conflict, and purpose.
