What if the secret to thriving in leadership isn't just about pushing harder, but about finding your authentic joy and creating a life that truly lights you up?

In this episode of Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors, Erica sits down with the brilliant and bold Daisy Auger-Domínguez, author of "Burnt Out to Lit Up: How to Reignite the Joy of Leading People." Daisy, a trailblazer who's re-imagining leadership and workplace culture, isn't just talking about overcoming exhaustion; she’s here to unpack how to move from surviving to truly leading with purpose, humanity, and joy.

Together, they dive into the often-misunderstood world of burnout, sharing personal stories and practical tools to help high-achieving women identify the signs, break free from unsustainable patterns, and reignite their inner spark.

Inside the episode:

  • Defining Burnout: What it truly is, and what it isn't – moving beyond the buzzword to real understanding.
  • The Breaking Point: Daisy shares her deeply personal journey through multiple breaking points and the pivotal moments that led her to redefine success and wellness.
  • The Power of the Radical Sabbatical: How intentional pauses and strategic time off can be transformative for healing and rediscovering purpose.
  • Tactical Joy: Actionable tools and practices, from intentional mantras and breathwork to subtle self-regulation techniques, that you can implement this week for a little lift.
  • Leading with Wellbeing: How to build supportive systems in your life and work that allow you to thrive, even amidst uncertainty.
  • The Ripple Effect: Understanding how your personal wellbeing impacts not just your family and friends, but also your team and leadership presence.

If you're ready to transform your professional journey from a cycle of exhaustion to a compelling story of impact, well-being, and genuine joy, this episode is your guide.
