Ever feel like work keeps asking for more while you’re running on empty, and wonder if there’s a better way? You’re not alone.
Host Lori Adams-Brown just sat down with Dr. Nona Djavid, and she’s living proof that you don’t have to buy into nonstop hustle to be a strong, effective leader.
We get into what it looks like to actually lead with your values, avoid burning out, and still get things done. Dr. Djavid brings her neuroscience background to the table and shares how our brains and nervous systems respond to this crazy, always-on work culture. Think practical tips for breaking old stress habits, real talk about why self-awareness matters, and some surprisingly doable ways to set boundaries at work—without losing your edge.
We also talk about her “one week per month” lifestyle (yes, you read that right) and how it’s changed how she leads, how her team shows up, and how she actually feels at the end of the day. If you’re a manager or leader who’s tired, stressed, or just wondering if there’s more to this whole leadership thing, this episode might give you the nudge you need.
So if you want to lead more like a human, and less like a burnout machine, give this one a listen. There’s a different way to do this, we promise.
Full episode out tomorrow Oct 7.
