Ever feel like you're just going through the motions as a leader—no spark, no motivation, just... blah? In this episode, I’m opening up about what to do when nothing feels exciting anymore and how to reignite your spark without pushing yourself to burnout.
Why I’m sharing this:I’ve been there. As a business owner and leader, I’ve felt the weight of showing up when I had nothing left to give. This episode is a real-talk conversation about navigating those low seasons with honesty, gentleness, and tools that actually help.
Topics discussed in this episode:
The quiet pressure of leading when you're uninspired
Why burnout doesn’t always look dramatic
The lies leaders believe about rest and productivity
How Human Design can help you recognize misalignment
Simple ways to create space (without the guilt)
Using curiosity as a breadcrumb trail back to motivation
Reconnecting to your “why” instead of your to-do list
Letting your leadership strategy be seasonal—not static
Takeaways from this episode:If you’re in a low-energy season, it doesn’t mean you’re broken—it might just mean you’ve outgrown the way you’ve been doing things. Your spark isn’t gone; it’s just buried under “shoulds,” exhaustion, and disconnection. Real leadership is about recalibrating, not powering through. And sometimes, following just one breadcrumb of curiosity is enough to start feeling like yourself again.
