Listen "163. Why Parents in Leadership Roles Often Neglect Their Health (And What to Do About It)"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I dive into one of the most common challenges ambitious parents face: neglecting their own health while climbing the career ladder.

We’ll explore why so many working professionals and parents in leadership roles sacrifice their well-being in pursuit of success, and how that mindset often backfires. You’ll learn why putting your health first isn’t selfish, it’s strategic, and how simple, sustainable habits can make you a stronger leader, parent, and professional.

I also share actionable strategies you can start today, like reframing health as an asset, ditching the all-or-nothing mindset, and using your business skills to create better systems for your personal wellness.

If you’ve ever told yourself “I’ll focus on my health when things slow down,” this episode is your reminder that health is how you get there, not what comes after.
