Description

I would love to hear what you think of this episode. Write your thoughts here. Thank you for your feedback!

When burnout nearly cost Michael Levitt everything, it became the turning point for a new kind of leadership, one built on clarity, boundaries, and a redefined version of success.

In this powerful episode of Life & Leadership Connected, I’m joined by Michael Levitt, founder of the Breakfast Leadership Network and a global authority on burnout prevention.

Michael opens up about the season that brought him to the edge: a career collapse, health crisis, and personal loss, all rooted in the absence of boundaries and sustainable balance. But what followed was a journey of deep self-leadership, recovery, and a life redesigned around purpose.

This conversation is packed with wisdom for young professionals, aspiring leaders, and high-achievers who want to grow without burning out.

You’ll learn:

  • How to recognize the early signs of burnout
  • Why high-performers struggle to set healthy boundaries
  • How to rebuild your life around values, purpose, and peace
  • The role of resilience in long-term impact
  • Encouragement for redefining success, especially if you're feeling stuck, exhausted, or overwhelmed

Whether you're just starting your career or leading others, this episode is your reminder: balance is not a luxury, it’s leadership.

Listen now and take your next step from burnout to breakthrough.
