Are your top leaders quietly burning out?

They may not say it — but you're seeing the signs: checked-out energy, decision fatigue, disengagement. And replacing them? Costs more than you think.

💥 This is burnout recovery and energetic healing journey wrapped in one.

  • Why "work-life balance" is broken (and what to build instead)
  • What Qigong and Chinese medicine can teach us about leadership capacity A behind-the-scenes peek at the Energetic Alignment experience
