#117: From Burnout to Bold Faith: Michael Price on Redefining Leadership and Success

 From Burnout to Bold Faith: Michael Price on Redefining Leadership and Success   What do you do when your success is costing you your soul? In this powerful episode of the GRASP Confidence podcast, I sit down with Michael Price, a respected corporate executive and the newly appointed President of C-Suite for Christ Charlotte chapter. Michael's story isn't just about corporate leadership; it's about spiritual warfare, emotional resilience, and the bold decision to stop surviving and start surrendering. Michael opens up about the silent struggles behind the boardroom doors; his battles with depression, burnout, and even suicidal ideation. Despite the accolades and achievements, he found himself spiritually empty and emotionally spent. But through faith, perseverance, and divine redirection, Michael chose a different path: one of purpose, healing, and Kingdom-led leadership. Now on a mission to help other high-performing professionals avoid the crash-and-burn cycle, Michael is writing his first book and stepping into the spotlight as a speaker for faith-driven business leaders. He shares how God is using his past pain as a platform to ignite hope in others and why burnout doesn't have to be the end of your story. In this episode, you'll learn: • The hidden cost of unchecked ambition and burnout • How faith became Michael's anchor in the darkest seasons • The truth about mental health in the corporate world and why more leaders need to speak up • What it means to build a career that honors both your calling and your well-being • Why spiritual alignment is essential for sustainable leadership This episode is for every leader who feels like they're running on empty, secretly suffering while holding it all together on the outside. Michael's story is a timely reminder that true strength begins when we surrender and that your breakthrough might just begin at your breaking point.   Ready to lead with confidence and faith at the center?
