[309] – Leah Marone - When Your Mind Won’t Let You Rest

Text me what you thought of the show 😊

In this episode, we unpack how protective parts like the Inner Critic, Pleaser, and Rescuer quietly fuel burnout among first responders and healthcare workers.

Joining me is Leah Marone, LCSW - psychotherapist, speaker, and author of Serial Fixer, who shares her insights on managing the inner critic, setting emotional boundaries, and creating recovery moments that fit real shifts.

You’ll walk away with science-backed micro-resets and leadership tools that build resilience without the grind or guilt.

In this episode:

• Understanding cyclical burnout patterns and emotional hangovers
• How your inner critic acts as protection from judgment
• Recognizing pleaser and rescuer habits that lead to overextension
• Using shift transitions as effective micro-resets
• Bookending mornings and nights for better recovery
• Applying grounding tools to interrupt rumination
• Debriefing with three problems and solutions for clarity
• Leaders modelling calm urgency and “I” statements
• Practicing support, don’t solve as a form of team care
• Redefining resilience as replenishment, not relentless effort
