What does it really mean to be a healthy, conscious leader in today’s high-pressure world?
In this episode of Sexy Business Podcast, host Eisve sits down with leadership coach Nalani to explore the human side of leadership — from burnout and loneliness at the top to emotional awareness, trust, and showing up as a full human being at work.
This conversation goes beyond productivity and performance to uncover why the most effective leaders are those who slow down, build self-awareness, and lead with integrity, even when the stakes are high.
🎧 In this episode, we explore:
- Why burnout is so common in leadership roles
- What healthy and conscious leadership really looks like

- The loneliness leaders often experience — and how to navigate it
- Practical tools to reconnect with yourself and your team
- Whether you’re a founder, executive, manager, or someone navigating leadership in your own life, this episode offers powerful insights into leading with clarity, compassion, and humanity.
