You know the move.
Something big happens in your life, and you still walk into that meeting as if nothing happened. You lead. You perform. You hold it together.
Then you crash later, alone.
In this episode, I’m joined by Megan Warren, founder and coach at Extraordinary Lives, and we break down what she calls regenerative leadership: leadership that stops extracting from you and your team, and starts building capacity, trust, and better decisions.
We talk about the real cost of “professional masking,” why teams can feel tension even when nobody says anything, and how to lead when you are not fully resourced without making it messy.
What you’ll learn:
-
The difference between vulnerability and oversharing at work
-
What to say when you need support mid-meeting
-
How to reduce tension fast so creativity and problem-solving can happen
-
A practical way to handle prioritization conflict when resources are tight
-
Why self-leadership is the first lever in leadership
