REGINA LARKO | Our Worth, Our Work, and Why We're So Busy, Really (Lead with your voice)
What if the real obstacle to your success isn't your abilities, but your belief in your worth? In this season 2 special Lauren Davis sits down with Regina Larko to explore the hidden fears that keep high-achieving leaders up at night - the universal question of "Am I good enough?" that persists regardless of titles, accolades, or salary.With years of experience supporting executives worldwide, Lauren reveals the most common fear people are afraid to voice: the constant anxiety about being "discovered for not knowing what they're doing." They dive deep into the core of imposter syndrome, exploring how we've become trapped in a cycle of external validation where our worth feels precarious and dependent on achievements that can vanish in an instant.Lauren shares her own journey from burning out as "Superwoman" to embracing two liberating truths: "It's okay to be disagreeable" and "It's okay to be ordinary." These revolutionary concepts challenge our culture's obsession with exceptionalism and help listeners understand why mediocrity isn't failure - it's part of being human.They explore why fear of failure keeps us from even trying, how our brains misinterpret discomfort as danger, and why the pursuit of comfort actually makes us more stuck. Drawing on insights from psychiatrist Phil Stutz, they discuss the three certainties of life: uncertainty, pain, and hard work - and how embracing these with compassion can unlock our courage.Listeners will discover practical strategies to separate their worth from their work, learn to sit with uncomfortable emotions instead of running from them, and understand the delicate balance between "doing" and "being" that true leadership requires. Lauren offers gentle nudges to help us show up courageously, including the simple yet profound act of questioning our busyness: "Am I doing this because it's necessary, or because I'm trying to prove something?"This episode cuts through hustle culture to reveal what truly matters beneath the busy - helping leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone striving to build something meaningful find sustainable success without sacrificing their wellbeing. Perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed by expectations, questioning their path, or ready to drop the cape and lead authentically.If you've ever felt like you're one mistake away from being found out, or if you're tired of pursuing someone else's definition of success, this conversation will give you the permission to be human and the tools to lead from a place of wholeness rather than striving.Find Regina Larko:www.reginalarko.comor via @regina_larko Thanks for listening!

The Leadership Paradox Behind Burnout

We explore the hidden cost of resilience, the emotional labour leaders and HR carry, and how high performance quietly becomes burnout in slow motion.Through psychological insight and decades of coaching high-performing executives, Lauren reveals why coping isn’t leading, the early signs of leadership burnout, and what it takes to build sustainable capacity in a culture addicted to busyness.If you’re a leader or HR professional navigating decision fatigue, emotional overload, or the pressure to “hold everything together,” this episode offers a grounding pause and a practical reflection tool to help you check your capacity before burnout checks it for you.Take the Leadership Capacity Questionnaire: https://form.typeform.com/to/Ig3juEuIWhat You’ll LearnWhy resilience is quietly becoming a liabilityThe difference between coping and leadingSigns of leadership burnout and capacity erosionThe emotional and psychological load HR carriesWhy leaders need support structures similar to elite athletesHow psychological safety and recovery fuel performanceA simple reflection tool to assess your leadership capacityKey TopicsLeadership burnoutHR burnoutEmotional labour at workHigh-performance psychologySustainable leadershipCapacity buildingResilience vs recoveryLeadership mental healthOrganisational wellbeingPreventing burnout in leaders & HRMentioned in This EpisodeThe Leadership ParadoxDecision fatigueCompassion fatiguePurpose fatigueThe Olympic analogy for leadershipSeason 1: “Busy Is the New Lazy”Season 2, Episode 4: Caring Without Crumbling (teaser)Who This Episode Is ForSenior leadersExecutives & foundersHR & People PartnersHigh performers navigating burnoutCoaches & wellbeing leadsAnyone holding a system together while feeling unsupportedHighlights“Leadership may be the only high-performance role where support isn’t built in.”“We reward depletion and call it dedication.”“Coping isn’t leading — it’s a holding pattern.”“You’d never send an athlete onto a field without support; why send leaders into complex systems alone?”“High performance isn’t built on coping alone — it’s built on support.”Thanks for listening!

Episode 8: WTF: What’s the Feeling?
Most of us were never taught how to feel our feelings; let alone why it matters. In this episode, we explore what emotions are really trying to tell us, how the brain responds to emotional overwhelm, and why “naming it to tame it” is more than just a clever phrase.You’ll learn: – Why emotional suppression backfires – How to sit with uncomfortable feelings without spiralling – A simple reflection guide to help you tune in, not shut down – And how emotional fluency helps you hold better boundaries This is not a how-to guide for emotional perfection. It’s a conversation about creating more space, more self-trust, and more choice. One feeling at a time. Thanks for listening!
