Together, they discuss how to recognize the early signs of burnout, practical ways to respond, and what leaders and organizations can do to foster healthier work environments. From balancing heavy workloads with family responsibilities to embracing a mindshift away from glamorizing overwork, this episode challenges the “hustle culture” and reimagines leadership with empathy and balance at its core.
