Ep. 82 ICYMI: The Leadership Crisis We Need to Talk About

Leaders, you running on empty? Exhaustion, overcommitment, and urgency culture are driving burnout (and you’re like tell me something new!). On this episode, Jenn Whitmer and Shelby Merryweather reflect on podcasts with Jo Saxton about why leaders keep pushing past their limits and how we can break the cycle.

Here’s the goods:

- How do you lead like a human? Use the HALT method

- The tyranny of urgency derails focus

- Overworking isn’t leading

- Diagnosing overwhelm is the key

- The Enneagram’s role in how leaders manage stress

- How to reset before burnout takes over

If you’ve ever skipped lunch (like all the time), sacrificed sleep, or felt pressure to “just keep going,” this episode is for you.
