In this deeply human conversation, Beck Moore and Heather Holloway sit down with Hattie B. McCarter, Founder and Culture Strategist at MEND Solutions, to talk about the real emotional weight of leadership.

From anxiety and burnout to boundary setting and grace, Hattie opens up about what it means to lead when your tank is running low and why true leadership starts with honesty about your capacity. Together, they explore how to stay present, protect your peace, and redefine success through self-awareness and compassion.

This episode is equal parts therapy session and leadership masterclass—filled with laughter, real talk, and moments that remind you you're not alone in the work.
