Listen Later

Is burnout your default setting? In this powerful episode of The Grounded Leader: Ayurvedic Wellness for Leaders Who Want to Succeed from a Place of Balance —host Sweta Vikram challenges the toxic narrative that burnout is a sign of commitment or success.

From sleepless nights to simmering irritability, Sweta breaks down how burnout shows up differently for each Ayurvedic dosha—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—and why high-performing leaders are especially at risk. Through personal stories and ancient Ayurvedic insights, she helps you recognize the early whispers of burnout before they become full-blown breakdowns.

You’ll learn:

  • Why burnout isn’t a flex—it’s a red flag.
  • How leaders unknowingly commit prajnaparadha (the mistake of ignoring inner wisdom).
  • Dosha-specific signs of burnout—and what to do about them.
  • Daily Ayurvedic strategies to realign your mind, body, and spirit.
  • Why rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a leadership strategy.

Listen to your body before it has to shout.

🎧 Tune in, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and reimagine what grounded, successful leadership can look like. This episode is a permission slip for every high-achiever to slow down without guilt and lead from a place of clarity, compassion, and strength.
