Leading for Wellness: Work Should Support Life

What if your job respected your life as much as you respect your job? Dr. Patricia Grabarek and Dr. Katina Sawyer dive into a radical (but necessary) idea: work should support your life… not consume it. 💡

They unpack what it means to be a "boundary bouncer”:leaders who fiercely protect their team’s time, values, and wellbeing like VIPs behind a velvet rope. From dodging late meetings that creep into T-ball practice to honoring dog walks even when your boss is terrified of dogs, Patricia and Katina keep it real while serving up actionable insights.

Tune in to learn why respecting boundaries isn't just good for wellness, it’s rocket fuel for performance. 🚀
