Most executives don't have a time problem. They have an attention problem. Most leaders don't have a performance problem. They have a capacity problem. And most of the advice you have been given for fixing it is quietly making it worse.

I'm Dr. Lizette Warner, PhD in biomedical engineering and a Master Certified Coach. For the last decade I've worked with executives, founders, and high-performing teams on one question: how do you sustain performance in a world that asks too much of your nervous system? Capacity Conversations is the show where we get honest about what it takes to lead well, think clearly, and stay human at the top.

This season, real conversations and real science, with no hustle-culture cosplay:

• Makeda Boehm on AI, leadership, and what it is quietly doing to how we think
• Meg Rentschler on the practices that actually build resilient leaders, and the ones that don't
• Edie Kay Stulken on honesty, trust, and why so many leaders get the sequence wrong
• Kim Hollingdale, who works with Olympians and executives, on why the formula that gets you to the top is often what breaks you
• Dr. Christine Sickles on the voice-values gap and what it costs to bring only part of yourself to work

New this season: Debunked. Every other week I take a piece of productivity gospel, the 4 a.m. club, the gratitude journal, the power pose, and run it through the science, because a lot of what we have been sold as universally good has quietly hurt the people who took it seriously. Part science, part sarcasm, fully committed to what actually holds up.

New episodes drop every Tuesday. Debunked episodes land on the alternate Tuesdays. It all starts August 25th.
