Burnout doesn’t just come from doing too much.
It comes from patterns you don’t even realize are running.
The overthinking.
The pressure to perform.
The constant internal dialogue that never turns off.
In this episode, I sit down with Alexia Leachman, founder of Head Trash, to talk about the hidden thought patterns driving burnout for so many leaders.
Not the obvious ones.
The unconscious ones.
We talk about:
• how internal narratives shape your leadership experience
• why burnout keeps repeating, even when you try to fix it
• and what it takes to interrupt the patterns that keep you stuck
Because burnout is not always about your workload.
Sometimes it’s about what’s happening in your mind while you’re doing the work.
If you’ve been feeling mentally exhausted, stuck in cycles, or like rest isn’t actually fixing the problem, this conversation will hit.
