The Leadership Wound Podcast

Burnout Is Not a Badge

Episode Summary

Episode 2: Burnout Is Not a Badge Summary: Burnout isn’t just a sign that you’ve been working hard — it’s a signal that something deeper is misaligned. In this episode of The Leadership Wound, we unpack the glorification of overwork, the systems that perpetuate burnout, and the personal cost of trying to lead in a way that doesn’t fit. Drawing from 25 years of leadership and coaching experience, Amanda explores how disconnection — from our bodies, values, and authentic selves — quietly fuels burnout. You’ll hear powerful insights on the myth of solo leadership, the exhaustion of performance, and what it means to pursue a model of leadership rooted in alignment, presence, and shared strength. If you’ve ever wondered whether leadership has to cost this much — emotionally, spiritually, or physically — this episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and imagine something different. Because burnout is not a badge of honor — and you don’t have to lead like this.
