Leadership fatigue is real—and it doesn’t care that your practice looks damn good on paper. In this Owner’s Room episode, we explore the complicated middle space between pride and depletion, where your team is thriving but you feel empty, overextended, or quietly resentful. Through six reflective questions and one deep-dive scenario, I unpack the emotional, physical, and existential layers of burnout, the tension of “enoughness,” the fear of slowing down, and what healing from leadership fatigue might actually mean.

If you’ve ever wondered why arriving doesn’t feel like arriving… this one’s for you.
