Self-Leadership: The Essential Strategy Most Leaders Forget


In this episode, I sit down with wellness pioneer and author Bija Bennett to explore a simple truth: you can’t lead others well if you’re not leading yourself. We talk about why so many leaders burn out, how constant digital noise disconnects us from our own thinking, and why slowing down isn’t indulgent—it’s strategic.


Bija shares powerful ideas on self-awareness, emotional clarity, and what she calls “analog wellness,” practical habits that help you stay grounded, focused, and effective for the long run.


If you’re feeling stretched thin or struggling to find space to think as a leader, this conversation will give you a fresh, much-needed reset.


Listen in and learn:
• Why self-leadership drives long-term performance
• How stillness and silence improve decision-making
• Why awareness, not hustle, is a leader’s biggest advantage
• How to break the burnout cycle and lead with clarity
