Three Episodes That Changed Me: On Burnout, Humor & Authenticity

Over six years and 180+ episodes, some conversations have lived rent-free in my head. They are the ones that didn’t just make for good listening but genuinely changed how I think about leadership, work, and myself.

In this episode, I’m sharing the first three.

We revisit Elayne Fluker’s take on burnout (spoiler: it’s not just about working too hard), Dr. Mike Cundall’s powerful reframing of humor as a house, and Kenneth Rogers’ superhero-inspired lens on fear, authenticity, and what real leadership looks like when we stop performing.

Whether you’ve heard these episodes before or you’re discovering them for the first time, this conversation is an invitation to lead differently – with more support, more intentionality, and more real-ness.

Part 2 drops November 3rd.
