Hi Reader,
If you’ve ever felt your brain spinning faster than your calendar can handle, you’re not alone. Burnout, stress, and anxiety are at record levels among leaders, and I wanted to get to the root of why.
That’s why I invited Dr. Caroline Leaf to the podcast this week. She’s a clinical neuroscientist and bestselling author who’s spent four decades studying how our thoughts shape our lives.
In this episode, we dive deep into why so many leaders are overwhelmed — and how mind management (not time management) might be the key to staying healthy and effective.
We also talk about the rise of artificial intelligence and Caroline gives a fascinating warning: if we let AI do our thinking for us, we risk dumbing ourselves down. But if we use it wisely, it can actually enhance our creativity and resilience.
If you’re feeling tired, distracted, or stuck in a mental fog, this conversation will help you reset your mind 👉 not just your schedule.
🎧 Listen now and take the next step toward healthier leadership. Watch it on YouTube or tune in wherever you listen to podcasts.
