Summary

Healthcare leadership rewards dedication. But sometimes, without realizing it, dedication slowly crosses the line into workaholism. In this episode, I explore the hidden psychology behind chronic overwork among healthcare leaders — why high performers struggle to disconnect, why rest can start to feel uncomfortable, and how productivity becomes tied to identity, self-worth, and emotional safety. If your mind never fully shuts off, you feel restless during downtime, or work has started consuming more of your life than you intended, this episode will help you recognize the signs and begin creating a healthier, more sustainable way to lead without losing your ambition or excellence.
