The Cost of Leading Without Margin: And How to Protect Yourself

The Leadership Boost

Twenty-five years ago, I woke up one Monday morning and couldn't get out of bed.

Not "didn't want to." Couldn't.

🧠 My brain wouldn't function. My body wouldn't move. I just lay there, terrified, because everything depended on me.

🔥 That's what burnout actually looks like.

In this episode, I'm sharing my story: the six months I couldn't function, the collapse nobody understood, and what I learned about leading with margin instead of intensity.

Because some of you are on that edge right now.

And I don't want you to learn what I learned the hard way.
