Burnout is often treated as something leaders recover from after the damage is already done.
But what if relief could be designed into the way you lead and work?
In this episode of the Leveraging Operations in Leadership podcast, I’m joined by Erayna Sargent, Relief Strategist and founder of Hooky Wellness®, to explore how leaders can proactively build systems that support sustainable performance.
After years of leading innovation and brand strategy for Fortune 500 companies and high-growth startups, Erayna hit her own wall with burnout. That experience led her to a powerful realization: relief cannot depend on weekends, vacations, or occasional breaks. It has to be intentionally built into the way we work.
Erayna shares how leaders can shift from reactively managing stress to designing structures that protect energy, boundaries, and recovery before burnout takes hold.
If you are a leader who wants to grow your impact without sacrificing your wellbeing, this conversation will help you rethink how relief fits into leadership.

Kingdom of Fraud
It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
