Meet Lily. It’s nearly 9 p.m., and she’s still at her desk, drowning in reports and unread emails. The office is empty, but she keeps pushing through. Her phone buzzes—a text from her husband: Heading to bed. Miss you. Let’s catch up tomorrow? Guilt creeps in, but she brushes it aside. There’s always more to do. As a senior VP at a software company, Lily’s workload is relentless. She thrives under pressure, but lately, exhaustion has replaced excitement. Her team looks to her for answers, but she struggles to delegate. At home, she feels disconnected, too drained to be present with her family. She knows something has to change but doesn’t know where to start.

Becky shares practical strategies to set boundaries, build resilience, and create a culture where leaders and teams thrive. If you’ve ever felt stretched too thin or stuck in overwork, this conversation will help you take back control and create a healthier, more sustainable way to lead.
