Why So Many Leaders Are Quietly Struggling?

Even the most accomplished leaders in science, tech, and business are quietly struggling with:

• Decision fatigue and overthinking
• Chronic tension, burnout, and stress
• A sense of disconnection from purpose and inner clarity
• Pressure to perform that leaves no room for presence or creativity
• Self-doubt masked by overachievement

This has been my story, too.

After years of working in corporate roles—climbing the ladder through multiple promotions and earning a PhD—I still carried a deep, quiet sense of not being good enough. As if everything I had achieved were sheer luck, and I was one day going to be found out.

So I kept pushing.

Late nights at the desk.

Another journal paper to publish.

Another speaking slot to secure.

Another patent to file.

Another deal to close.

Another project to deliver—flawlessly and on time—no matter what it cost me… or those I loved.

I ignored the signals my body was sending to me: tension wrapped around my neck, sleepless nights, constantly upset stomach, persistent fatigue.

I thought I knew what mattered.

Until I didn’t.

Then came the anxiety. The panic attacks. And with them, the question I could no longer ignore: Is this really how I want to lead my life?

We’ve been taught to lead with the mind—but our true leadership potential lives in our whole self, including our body, intuition, and emotional awareness.
