## Resource

Amy Leneker is a recovering workaholic turned joy strategist—and her message couldn’t be more timely. In this episode, Amy joins John to share insights from her upcoming book Cheers to Monday , a science-backed guide to breaking the cycle of burnout and embracing joy as a leadership strategy. A former C-suite executive and advisor to Fortune 100 companies, Amy opens up about hitting rock bottom—not once, but twice—and what it taught her about stress, success, and what really matters. She introduces her “Un-Stressing Method”: See, Sort, Solve, Celebrate—a practical and empowering framework that helps leaders manage their own stress while reducing the stress they place on others. They also dive into concepts like the Stockdale Paradox, the difference between happiness and joy, and why emotional honesty is the new leadership superpower. This episode is packed with actionable tools, honest reflection, and a refreshing take on what it really means to thrive in today’s high-pressure world.
