Summit After the Storm | Leadership, Faith and Resilience Podcast

Rest shouldn’t feel like failure—but for many leaders, it does.

In this episode of Summit After the Storm, Bart Wilbanks explores why high-performing leaders struggle to rest without guilt, and how burnout often follows when productivity becomes identity. Drawing from the climb on Mount Kilimanjaro and personal leadership experience, this episode examines what recovery really requires when exhaustion is normalized and rest feels undeserved.

This conversation speaks to leaders and professionals navigating burnout, chronic stress, and the pressure to always perform. Bart reflects on why rest is not weakness, how unchecked drive distorts purpose, and what sustainable leadership looks like when recovery is treated as discipline—not escape.

If you’re tired but afraid to slow down, this episode offers clarity on how rest restores perspective, resilience, and long-term effectiveness.
