info_outlineEver feel like you're drowning in your own success? This week, we feature Leah Marone for a conversation about what every overwhelmed high achiever needs to hear right now.
Leah isn't just a psychotherapist and corporate wellness consultant – she's been in the trenches herself as a former Division I athlete who understands what it means to push beyond limits.
In a heart-to-heart chat, she opens up about her journey and shares wisdom from her upcoming book "Serial Fixer" that will leave you nodding in agreement and scribbling notes frantically.
We dive into the real struggle of perfectionism (hello, inner critic!), why so many of us can't stop fixing everyone else's problems, and how the boundaries we think we're setting might not be working at all. Leah's approach is refreshingly honest – no corporate jargon or empty promises, just practical wisdom for people who are tired of burning the candle at both ends.
One of your favorite moments may be when Leah explains why saying "What are your options?" to your team members is infinitely more powerful than swooping in to save the day.
Whether you're feeling the weight of leadership, struggling to turn off "work mode," or simply wondering if there's a better way to achieve without the constant exhaustion, this episode feels like permission to breathe again – while still crushing your goals.
Leah's insights have been featured everywhere from Psychology Today to The Atlantic and Newsweek, but there's something about hearing her passion directly that hits differently. Her upcoming book, "Serial Fixer," needs to definitely be on your pre-order list.
This is the conversation you’ll wish you would have heard years ago – before learning these lessons the hard way. Don't miss it.
