104. Burnout, Boundaries & Becoming a Better Leader: A Conversation with Sammie McCrackenDescription
This week’s episode is a deep and honest conversation with Sammie McCracken, founder of Buckskin Rowe, equine sports marketing expert, and all-around inspiring woman. Sammie brings the realness we all need when it comes to navigating burnout, balancing (or not balancing) business and motherhood, and leading a team with empathy.
We talk about how burnout can sneak in without warning, especially for high achievers, and what it actually looks like to recognize it in yourself and your team. Sammie shares her personal story of building a business, hiring the right people, and choosing growth over perfection. You’ll hear us dive into leadership, team dynamics, and the importance of checking in, on others and on ourselves.
