Tips to Spot Early Burnout and Reverse It to Get More Done with Leigha May

In this episode of Time Billionaires, Rebecca speaks with Leigha May about the unseen signals that something in our work or life has fallen out of alignment. Leigha is an executive coach and former HR executive at SpaceX, Nike, and The Honest Company. She shares insights from her corporate and startup experience as they unpack the root causes of burnout and resentment, and why those “Sunday night scaries” are red flags that our internal compass is off course. Leigha shares how chasing someone else’s definition of success can leave us feeling hollow and offers practical advice to better understand our own values and motivation.      She offers an overview into how to define your unique core values so every big decision, from promotions to passion projects, can be filtered through what truly matters to you. They discuss simple two-minute exercises like “celebrating wins” to retrain your mind to get more out of each day. These micro-adjustments, she explains, compound over days and weeks into growing motivation and fulfillment. By the end of the episode, you’ll come away with a clear roadmap for reducing burnout and building a life led by your own metrics of success.   Timestamps Recognizing early signals of misalignment and burnout – 0:00 Unpacking resentment and obligation – 1:02 Defining personal values for better decision-making – 5:01 Celebrating specific wins to maintain energy and focus – 7:13 Advice for career and life fulfillment – 10:16   Connect with Leigha May LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leighamay/ The Values Workbook: https://bit.ly/3PJ9n61   For more insights on turning hidden minutes into your greatest asset, connect with Rebecca and follow the podcast on LinkedIn!  Time Billionaires on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/time-billionaires-pod Rebecca: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebeccashaddix/   And if you love the show, Subscribe to follow it.    Shout-out to Graham Duncan from East Rock Capital for the "Time Billionaires" concept that inspired our show name - originally shared on The Tim Ferriss Show.
