When burnout sends you to the hospital (twice), you start asking bigger questions. Like: What kind of leader do I want to be—and how do I build workplaces that actually feel good to work in?

This week on Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors, I’m joined by Andrea Wanerstrand, founder of A3 Culture Lab and leadership coach to companies like Microsoft and T-Mobile. Andrea shares her journey from corporate high-achiever to lavender-farming culture rebel—and what it really takes to lead with authenticity, autonomy, and accountability.

We dive into:

💥 How burnout nearly derailed her life—and what brought her back
💥 The 3 A’s of human-centered leadership
💥 Why emotional awareness is a superpower (not a liability)
💥 How to reset your nervous system when your body says “this isn’t working”
💥 The difference between being nice and being kind—especially in tough conversations

If you’ve ever felt like you had to shrink yourself to succeed, this episode will remind you that you’re not too much—and you’re more than enough.

🎧 Press play to reclaim your power, reset your mindset, and lead with heart.
