This episode looks at leadership burnout through the lens of interoception, or your ability to notice and respond to signals from your own body. Cait Donovan explains why leadership burnout often feels sudden even though stress has been building for a long time, and why many leaders miss the early signs until they hit a wall. The conversation connects workplace burnout, self-trust, and emotional regulation in a way that feels both practical and deeply human. Cait explores how early life experiences can shape the way leaders relate to stress, interpret other people, and move through pressure without realizing how disconnected they have become from themselves. That insight opens up a more honest conversation about burnout, decision-making, and the hidden patterns that shape culture and performance. What makes this episode especially useful is how actionable it is. Cait shows how small daily choices can help rebuild trust with your body, strengthen self-awareness, and improve the way you lead. In a future of work that asks more people to lead with clarity, steadiness, and empathy, this episode makes the case that leadership burnout is not only about workload. It is also about whether you can hear your own signals early enough to respond.
