Are you burned out or actually done with corporate? There's a difference — and getting it wrong can cost you.

I left my corporate job over two years ago after 15 years of climbing the ladder. I thought I was just burned out. Turns out I was done. And I wish someone had helped me see the difference sooner.

In this episode, I'm breaking down how to know if you're ready to leave your 9-5, the real difference between burnout and being done with corporate, why you can't figure this out alone, and what no one tells you about the identity crisis that hits when you finally leave.

If you're a woman stuck in a career that looks good on paper but feels empty, if you're quietly wondering whether to quit your job, or if you're tired of following a script you never agreed to — this one's for you.

Inspired by Josiah Queen's song "Garden in Manhattan," this episode challenges the mindset of waiting for perfect circumstances before truly living. Using the powerful image of a flower pushing through concrete, the host explores why we postpone joy, presence, and purpose until "someday" – and what it costs us. She issues a compelling invitation: stop waiting for the garden that may never come, and instead choose to bloom right where you are, in all the messy, imperfect, concrete reality of your life. Because flowers that grow in concrete are stronger, more resilient, and more beautiful precisely because they refuse to wait for ideal conditions.

Leah gets brutally honest about drowning—not in the dramatic way, but in the slow, exhausting way where you're just trying to keep your head above water. This isn't an episode with solutions or silver linings. It's permission to stop performing strength you don't have and to finally admit that you're not okay right now. If you're struggling and tired of pretending you're fine, this one's for you.

Leah opens up about how her Christian faith serves as the foundation for every business decision she makes, and challenges listeners to identify what keeps them grounded when the world pressures them to compromise. She explores why being rooted in something solid—whether faith, values, or intuition—isn't a weakness to apologize for, but a competitive advantage that allows you to lead with authentic conviction.

In this episode of Unleashed, Leah Pitzenberger strips away the polished LinkedIn version of success to share the raw, unfiltered truth of her own journey. She takes listeners inside her CHRO role—where the relentless need to prove herself left her not just exhausted, but broken. What follows is a story of panic attacks, therapy, and years of reckoning with shame. But it’s also the story of freedom—the kind that comes when you stop hiding, stop apologizing, and reclaim the pen to write your own narrative. Leah reveals how real power isn’t found in titles, résumés, or corner offices, but in owning the chapters we’d rather keep hidden.

In this episode, Leah unpacks the uncomfortable truth about growth: it isn’t easy, it isn’t pretty, and it rarely wins applause. Real growth stretches relationships, sparks resistance, and often leaves you questioning yourself. Through personal stories and client experiences, she shows why the pushback you feel when you start protecting your energy or setting new boundaries isn’t failure—it’s proof that you’re evolving.

Listeners will walk away with a new lens on growth: getting older is automatic, but growth is a choice—and it’s worth every ounce of discomfort.

Ever notice how we always default to saying our lives are "good" without actually thinking about whether that's true?

This episode is about moving beyond autopilot responses and actually paying attention to what energizes you versus what drains you, what brings out your best self versus what makes you feel like you're performing.

There's a huge difference between "nothing's wrong" and "this is actually working for me." Most of us know our coffee preferences better than we know our life preferences.

For anyone ready to stop just surviving their life and start consciously living it.

Wrapping up our August series with the most honest conversation yet: what do we do on the days when "unstoppable" feels like a joke?

We're talking about crying in Target, the comparison trap, and why we think we're supposed to be perfect productivity machines. Plus, a plot twist on what "unstoppable" actually means.

For anyone who's ever felt like they're failing at adulting while everyone else has it figured out. Spoiler: they don't either.

We’re told to “be authentic”—but what if that advice is actually keeping you small?

In this episode, I’m pulling apart the performative pressure to be the same person everywhere. Because here’s the truth: You’re not one fixed identity. You’re a walking contradiction. And that’s not a flaw—it’s your humanity.

From the version of me that shows up as a soft, grounded mom to the version of me that takes no shit in business, I’m learning that both are real. And the more I stop trying to make sense to other people, the more free I become.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re faking it just because you don’t fit neatly into one box, this one’s for you.

It’s time to stop performing authenticity and start living it—messy, evolving, and unapologetically whole.
