S2 Ep24 - Burnout is NOT a Leadership Strategy


Listen Later

Burnout is not a badge of honour — and it’s definitely not a leadership strategy. In this first episode, I share my personal journey with burnout, the myth of hustle-driven success, and a simple reset ritual to help you lead with more flow, presence, and authenticity. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In this episode, I share my personal story of chasing success the “traditional” way — long hours, saying yes to everything, and pushing myself until I burned out.

I unpack why hustle and sacrifice are not badges of honour, but signs of a broken leadership model. Burnout doesn’t make us better leaders — it leaves us depleted, disconnected, and unable to inspire or lead with compassion.

You’ll also get a simple reset ritual you can use anytime stress rises — a quick practice to come back to presence, calm, and flow. 🌿✨

The future of leadership is feminine, and it starts with us choosing to lead differently.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Burnout ≠ Leadership – Pushing yourself to exhaustion is not a strategy for success; it only leaves you depleted and disconnected.
  2. The Hustle Myth – We’ve been sold the idea that sacrifice equals respect, but burnout doesn’t make us stronger leaders — it actually weakens our impact.
  3. Leadership Can Be Softer – True leadership comes from presence, authenticity, and alignment, not force and overwork.
  4. Energy Matters – When we lead from a rooted, calm, and connected state, our teams feel it and thrive alongside us.
  5. Practical Reset Tool – A simple breathwork ritual (hand on heart + belly, 4-2-6 breathing) can shift you back into clarity and flow in just a few minutes. 🌿✨
