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 hangoversHow your inner critic acts as protection from judgmentRecognizing pleaser and rescuer habits that lead to overextensionUsing shift transitions as effective micro-resetsBookending mornings and nights for better recoveryApplying grounding tools to interrupt ruminationDebriefing with three problems and solutions for clarityLeaders modelling calm urgency and “I” statementsPracticing support, don’t solve as a form of team careRedefining resilience as replenishment, not relentless effort
