Ever wonder, "How much longer can I keep giving like this before I burn out?"
If you're a high-achieving leader in healthcare or another high-pressure space, this episode is your breath of fresh air.
This week on the show, trauma-informed executive coach Dr. Annie Campanile shares a surprising, fun story about a silent moment of human connection—and how it unlocked a healing practice she now teaches to leaders across the country.
🌞 You’ll discover:
- Why high performers often feel the most disconnected (and what to do about it)
- A 3-step practice you can do in under 10 seconds to feel more grounded and present
- How to connect deeply with others—without saying a word or needing more time
