In this episode, I sit down with Andrea Wanerstrand, a leadership coach and former corporate executive, to uncover the hidden costs of burnout and how to take control of your energy before it’s too late.

After experiencing burnout three times during her 25 years in corporate America, Andrea shares the hard-earned lessons that helped her not only recover but thrive. We discuss why high achievers are particularly vulnerable to stress, the subtle warning signs most people miss, and how small, consistent changes can create a lasting impact on your mental and physical health.
