Episode 5: When Stress Starts Showing Up in Your Body
As a woman executive, you’ve probably brushed off the sleepless nights, tension headaches, or weekend dread as “just stress.” But what if those physical symptoms are your body’s way of waving a red flag? In this episode, I’m unpacking what it really means when leadership stress starts to show up in your body, and why ignoring it can quietly erode your effectiveness and well-being. We’ll talk about how hustle culture gaslights women leaders into pushing past exhaustion, the biological realities of burnout, and how to create realistic boundaries that protect both your health and your leadership.
If you’ve been telling yourself to “just push through,” this episode will help you pause, listen to your body, and lead from a place of strength, not survival.
