Summary
What if the exhaustion you're feeling isn't a sign that you're working hard enough? What if it's a warning sign that your nervous system is overwhelmed? In this episode of Leaders Lead , Tony Taylor sits down with somatic educator, TEDx speaker, certified hypnotherapist, and author Dr. Danielle Griffith for a powerful conversation about burnout, stress, nervous system regulation, and the physical toll that high achievement can take on the body. Dr. Griffith shares her own journey through chronic stress, grief, entrepreneurship, sleep deprivation, and burnout. Together, Tony and Dr. Griffith explore why so many leaders normalize exhaustion, how stress gets stored in the body, and practical ways to interrupt the cycle before it becomes a crisis. Whether you're an entrepreneur, professional, caregiver, or someone who feels like you're constantly carrying the weight of the world, this conversation offers practical tools to help you reconnect with yourself and create sustainable success.
