From Burnout to "Rooted Renegade": Holistic Leadership & Intuition with Rebecca Arnold

In this powerful episode of Ladies Who Leap, host Lisa Andria sits down with Rebecca Arnold — certified executive coach, bestselling author, and founder of Root Coaching & Consulting — to unpack how she transformed personal burnout into a repeatable roadmap for holistic leadership. A former attorney who has coached 100+ leaders from places like Google and Harvard, Rebecca blends neuroscience, values work, and gentle “woo” (intuition, energy awareness, somatic practices) to help high achievers thrive without sacrificing their health, joy, or relationships. What you’ll learn Burnout in a “dream job”: Why purpose-driven roles can still deplete you—and the early signals to watch (anxiety spikes, Sunday scaries, insomnia, values misalignment). Somatic leadership tools: Tiny posture and breath shifts that change presence, confidence, and influence in meetings—fast. Energy & intuition for analytical minds: A practical, science-informed way to bring “woo” into high-performance cultures without losing credibility. Self-advocacy at work: Calendars, boundaries, and schedule design that protect your deep-work windows and your wellbeing. Nervous system regulation: Simple practices from The Rooted Renegade to calm overwhelm, break draining habits, and return to center. Mantra for messy seasons: “This is hard and I’m doing my best.” How to use emphasis (one word at a time) to make it land in your body.
