About this episode

Lauren Schmidt discusses overcoming burnout and the importance of self-worth in leadership.

Epsode Summary: You can build the business. You can lead the team. You can look successful on the outside… And still be drowning in fear, anxiety, and quiet burnout. In this powerful conversation with leadership coach Lauren Schmidt, we unpack the moment everything shifted, the night she realized, “No one is coming to save you.” Not her husband. Not her team. Not success. The breakthrough began when she looked inward and confronted the belief that she wasn’t worthy of help, rest, or more. If you’re in a career setback, leadership pressure, or midlife transition wondering why you feel exhausted even though you’re “doing everything right,” this episode is your reset.
