Somewhere between the back-to-back meetings, the unread emails, and the endless performance goals, many leaders lose something vital, joy. Not fleeting happiness, but that deep sense of meaning, energy, and lightness that makes you remember why you started in the first place.

In this episode, we’re diving into the very real emotional toll of leadership and how to rebuild joy, not through grand gestures, but in small, intentional moments that bring back creativity, connection, and purpose. If you’ve ever thought, “I love what I do, but it doesn’t feel good anymore,” this one’s for you.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why joy is a strategic leadership tool, not a luxury
• The most common “joy drainers” in the workplace
• Simple, powerful ways to rebuild lightness in your leadership

Key Takeaways:

• Joy fuels creativity, connection, and resilience, it’s not optional
• Leadership doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time, even in high-pressure roles
• Protecting your joy allows your team to feel safe, inspired, and connected

Call to Action:
Take five minutes today to reflect on where joy has faded in your work, and how you might invite it back. Whether it’s a small celebration, a handwritten note, or simply pausing to laugh with your team, joy doesn’t need to be scheduled. It just needs space.
