201. Leading with Heart 🩷 Without Losing Yourself: Managing the Emotional Investment of Leadership

Leadership is a privilege, but let’s be honest—it’s also emotionally exhausting. If you deeply care about your team, it can be hard to leave work at work and still have the energy to be present at home.

 

In this episode, we unpack the benefits and costs of leading with heart, the toll emotional investment can take, and practical strategies to set boundaries while still being an impactful, supportive leader.

 

We’ll talk about:
✅ Why caring deeply makes you a great leader—but also drains your energy
✅ The cost of carrying your team’s struggles home with you
✅ How to create an emotional off-ramp to transition from work to home
✅ Setting digital boundaries to protect your time and mental space
✅ The daily habits that restore your energy and keep you grounded

 

If you’ve ever felt emotionally drained at the end of the day, struggling to be fully present for your family, this episode is for you. Learn how to lead well without losing yourself in the process.

 

I hope this episode blesses you!

Xoxo,

Tanya
