Three words. Fifteen letters. It isn’t just a company name or a slogan. It’s a belief system. And it’s brilliant.

Do you ever carry an emotion from one moment into the next, good or bad, and let it color everything you see? Do you ever have a tense meeting in the morning makes you overly cautious in the afternoon? Maybe you have a win with one client makes you overconfident with the next? These are all examples of the Leadership Hangover.

We treat self-care like a luxury. It’s often something we “earn” or “fit in” once we’ve handled everything else. But here’s the problem with this thinking. The busier you get, the more crucial it becomes. Sacrificing self-care when you're under pressure is like skipping oxygen before a marathon.

Let’s not wait for burnout to catch up to us. Let’s proactively run to meet it at the door—and show it we’ve already moved on.

We live in a world that rewards constant alertness. But nobody’s really “on” all the time. Being awake is a spectrum. And some days, we’re just doing our best to find the light switch.

Some of the most inspiring leaders I work with are turning the page with more intention, more energy, and more truth.
