When Every Comment Feels Personal: Leadership in a Tired Season
Burnout makes everything heavier. Especially feedback.
In today’s episode, I break down the moment when a piece of feedback hit harder than it should have—and the uncomfortable truth I learned:
The feedback wasn’t the problem. My exhaustion was.
This episode is a deep dive into emotional regulation, leadership in hard seasons, and why empathy isn’t something soft-hearted leaders use—it’s something strategic leaders rely on.
You’ll learn:
Why tired leaders misinterpret feedback
How to assess your emotional “state” before reacting
A 6-step framework for responding with clarity (not panic)
How to lead yourself with empathy when your tank is empty
For everyone who’s ambitious, overwhelmed, and still showing up: this one will hit home.
