Burnout isn’t a personal failure — it’s often the turning point that leads to a leader’s greatest breakthrough. In this episode of Leadership on the Leading Edge, Kara and Dr. Ron Stotts unpack the real causes of burnout, the hidden beliefs that keep high achievers stuck, and the transformational inner work that helps leaders reclaim peace without sacrificing their edge.

✨ The three levels of awareness leaders move through before they finally shift
✨ How hidden beliefs like perfectionism, pressure, and over-responsibility drive burnout

✨ A guided sentence-completion exercise to reveal what you’ve been avoiding
✨ Real breakthrough stories from leaders who rebuilt their lives and careers
✨ The proven pathway to healing burnout at the root — not just coping with it

You’ll also hear inspiring transformations from leaders who rebuilt their energy, reconnected with what matters, and learned a new, sustainable way to succeed.
