I break down why many high functioning people remain stressed despite insight, rest, and good habits. This episode looks at the physiology of stress and what allows the stress cycle to truly settle.

If you are functional but depleted, and stress never fully lets go, Break the Stress Cycle was designed for that exact space. It works at the level stress actually runs, without adding more to your plate.

In this episode of The Executive Exhale Podcast, I sit down with life and career coach Sophia Mikelionis, founder of Gearing Together, to talk about burnout, boundaries, and the permission to pivot when a role or culture is slowly shrinking you.

We unpack what it looks like to stop outsourcing your self worth to your resume, especially for high achieving women and first gen success stories carrying invisible pressure. Sophia shares practical micro habits that protect your energy in real time, including how to use your calendar, narrate workload, and set boundaries that actually stick without derailing your career.

If you are a leader who feels overtaxed, always on, and quietly wondering how long you can keep going like this, this conversation is your reminder that sustainable leadership starts with small choices and a return to self before the next rise.

In this episode of The Executive Exhale Podcast, I sit down with executive coach Weronika Sobolak, a former Meta leader who built global teams and later navigated her own experience of burnout and stress related health impacts.

We talk about how burnout often builds quietly through decision fatigue, disrupted sleep, and gradual energy depletion long before a breaking point. Weronika shares practical tools leaders can use under pressure, including her Rule of Five mindset reset, simple ways to listen to what the body is holding, and how EFT tapping can support nervous system regulation.

We also explore what organizations do that unintentionally accelerate burnout, especially lack of clarity, feedback, and direction during constant change. We wrap with a grounded reminder that sustainable leadership starts with pausing, building a strong support system, and aligning daily actions with what truly matters.

This time of year can carry a lot. At work, we are often trying to wrap things up and keep everything moving. At home, we shift straight into caregiving, hosting, travel, and trying to create meaningful moments for the people we love.

On top of that, the holidays can stir up complex emotions. Grief, tenderness, longing, exhaustion, and gratitude can all exist at the same time.

In this episode, I talk honestly about how stress shows up during the holiday season, how our bodies hold the weight of the year, and why pushing through is not always the answer. I also share a gentler way to relate to this season, especially if you are feeling unsure, tired, or emotionally layered.

This is not about fixing anything. It is simply an invitation to slow down, notice what feels tender, and remember that you do not have to carry everything alone.

In this episode of The Executive Exhale Podcast, I sit down with productivity coach and podcast host Mark Struczewski, also known as "Mister Productivity", to talk about overwhelm, focus, and sustainable performance.

Instead of chasing hacks or trying to do more, we focus on simplicity, discipline, and small changes that actually stick. Mark shares why productivity is rarely the real problem, how micro breaks and intentional routines restore clarity, and why doing less can often lead to better results.

This episode is a reminder that relief does not come from piling on new strategies. It comes from choosing one thing, keeping it simple, and giving yourself the space to breathe again.

This conversation is for leaders who feel stretched thin and want practical ways to reduce overwhelm without adding more pressure.

From homelessness and addiction to recovery, financial stability, and surviving bile duct cancer and a liver transplant, Matt shares how financial stress impacts the nervous system, work performance, and everyday decisions.

In this episode, I share the impact of the recent loss of our beloved dog Kipper and how her passing revealed something profound about grief, leadership, and the nervous system.

Grief doesn’t only live in our emotions. It lives in the body. It affects focus, patience, energy, clarity, and capacity. For leaders, those internal shifts can ripple into how we show up, communicate, and work with others.

In this conversation, I explore:

• How the loss of a pet can disrupt nervous system regulation
• Why grief can make presence and clarity harder (and why that’s normal)
• The science behind attachment, oxytocin, cortisol, and heart rate variability
• How leaders can support themselves and others with compassion
• How Kipper’s final gift to me will be/was unexpected healing and release
• A gentle, grief conscious 5 minute guided nervous system reset near the end of the episode

This episode is for you if you’re navigating loss, supporting someone who is grieving, or noticing that your mind and body feel different after emotional shock or transition.

If you want grounding, connection, and permission to breathe again, you’ll feel held here.
