In this episode, I share why burnout isn't the real problem—fragmentation is. When we're disconnected from ourselves, we lose clarity, purpose, and the ability to lead from our deepest values.
I introduce a simple but powerful practice: descend before you ascend. Before reacting, fixing, rescuing, or carrying everyone else's burdens, we must first anchor ourselves.
If you're exhausted, overwhelmed, or feeling disconnected from your calling, this conversation is an invitation to pause, reconnect, and remember who you are before stepping back into leadership.
Because the best leaders don't sacrifice themselves for the role, they anchor first. Then they lead.
