45: Leading Through the Lean Times: Staying the Course When Resources Run Thin

Sarah Frazzini Season 2 Episode 45

When energy, time, or resources feel limited, even the strongest leaders can start to lose focus, creativity, and drive. In this week’s episode, Sarah explores one of the most overlooked leadership challenges—how to stay the course when the well runs dry. You’ll discover how scarcity and stress can trigger the body’s protective shutdown, how compassion fatigue quietly drains leaders and teams, and what practical, science-backed tools can help you reset your nervous system and reignite motivation.

Through leadership examples and reflective practice, Sarah shares how purpose, structure, and gentle self-leadership help us reconnect to vision and trust ourselves even during the toughest seasons. This episode is your reminder that consistency, connection, and compassion are the foundation for resilience—because even in scarcity, there’s always space to grow.
