But First, A Note From Our Founder.

Hello, Conscious Leaders—

Let’s be real: burnout isn’t a personal failure. It’s a systems failure. And too many brilliant, bold leaders are running on empty—pouring themselves out for missions they care about without the replenishment they deserve.

This April, we’re kicking off something close to my heart: our Burnout Learning Series. It’s time to rewrite the story we’ve been told about leadership and exhaustion. You can lead big, meaningful change without sacrificing yourself or your people in the process.

Because conscious leadership isn’t about holding it all together at any cost—it’s about building something sustainable that honors our humanity.

Let’s lead differently. Together.

Reimagining our approach to leadership and wellness, this month’s read dives deep into a practice that underpins both: breathwork. Here’s Sharon’s top book rec of the month:

Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor

“Breathwork isn’t just for yogis. It’s for founders, execs, and changemakers holding a lot. It’s for anyone seeking clarity, calm and presence amidst chaos” - Sharon Podobnik Peterson
