## Resource

Andrea Levinson spent 25 years helping businesses and leaders perform at the highest level, before realising the version of success she had chased no longer aligned with who she truly was. From climbing the corporate ladder as an organisational psychologist to redefining her relationship with ambition, burnout, identity, and fulfillment, Andrea’s story is a powerful reminder that achievement without alignment eventually catches up with us. - Get in touch with Andrea Levinson https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrealevinson/ - Andrea’s Quick Fire Answers What does success mean to you? “Joyful bigness. Getting to experience lots of joy and positive emotion while doing things I feel called to do.” What does happiness mean to you? “Beautiful coffee, sitting outside staring at the sky, snuggling my daughter, and listening to the ocean.” What’s your normal morning routine these days? “Walking along the beach, coffee, school drop-off, then mindfulness and breathing exercises before work.” What piece of advice would you put on a billboard for the world to see? “If you don’t love your work, find a way to enjoy something about it and move toward a better version of work for you.” Who would you suggest as a future guest on the show? “Julie Fedeli and Sandra.” - Listen To The Podcast https://pod.link/1683066164?view=apps&sort=popularity - Find Us On Social Media https://www.instagram.com/sxhpod - Chapters (00:00:00) - Intro (00:00:41) – Chapter 1 | Redefining Success & Identity (00:20:26) – Chapter 2 | Burnout, Hustle Culture & The Cost of Achievement (00:45:22) - Quick Fire Questions (00:49:12) - Outro - #podcast #leadership #burnout
