In this thought-provoking episode of Naturally High, Jeanne welcomes leadership coach, HR consultant, and Overflow founder Kimberly Snider for an honest conversation about the intersection of leadership, mental health, addiction, and emotional well-being in the workplace.

Together, they unpack the difference between self-care and self-soothing, why high-achieving leaders often feel responsible for rescuing everyone around them, and how psychological safety creates the conditions for healing, accountability, and authentic leadership.

Drawing from Kimberly’s years of experience supporting executives and organizations, as well as Jeanne’s expertise in addiction, trauma, and recovery, this conversation explores what compassionate leadership really looks like—and why leaders don't need perfect answers to make a meaningful difference.

Rather than fixing people, this episode invites us to become curious, create safe spaces, and empower others to access the support they truly need.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The difference between self-care and self-soothing, and why the distinction matters
• How stress, burnout, and addiction can quietly show up in high-performing professionals
• Why leaders often feel pressure to rescue others—and why that isn't sustainable
• How asking better questions is more powerful than having perfect answers
• What psychological safety actually looks like in the workplace
• Why emotional struggles deserve the same compassion as physical injuries
• How confidentiality, dignity, and agency support meaningful recovery
• The importance of listening, presence, and curiosity when someone is struggling
• Why leaders should connect people with resources rather than become the resource themselves
• How workplaces can better support employees navigating mental health, addiction, grief, or life crises
