In this powerful episode of BizBlend, host Sana sits down with Rachel Edmondson-Clarke, a leadership coach with over 20 years of corporate experience, to unpack the hidden costs of burnout and the myth of balance in high-pressure environments. Rachel shares her story of collapsing from burnout in her corporate role, and the mindset shifts that helped her rebuild a career and life rooted in well-being. Together, they explore why leaders must make “small corrections” instead of chasing perfect balance, and how to reclaim capacity without sacrificing ambition. A must-listen for entrepreneurs and leaders navigating stress, performance, and purpose.

After experiencing burnout firsthand, she now helps leaders cultivate authentic influence, sustainable success, and well-being through neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral science.
