🎙️Podcast Description

In this powerful episode of The Grounded Leader, I sit down with performance coach and Golf Digest Top 50 Teacher, Will Robbins, to explore a story that goes far beyond sport—into survival, faith, and the kind of resilience that reshapes a life.

Early in his career as a touring professional golfer, Will survived the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami while on his honeymoon in Thailand. What unfolded in those moments—and in the long road to recovery that followed—changed not only the trajectory of his career, but his understanding of purpose, leadership, and what it truly means to live well.

🎧🪷👉🏼In this conversation, we go beyond the event itself and explore the deeper lessons:

• What happens internally when you come face-to-face with mortality
• The role of faith and instinct in moments of crisis
• How trauma and recovery can reshape identity and purpose
• Why “everyone has a tsunami in their life”—and how to navigate it
• What resilience really looks like in the face of burnout, grief, or uncertainty
• How redefining success can lead to a more meaningful, service-driven life

This is a conversation about leadership in its most human form—when control is stripped away and what remains is who you are at your core.

If you’ve ever faced a moment that changed you… or are navigating one right now… this episode will meet you there.

Why does self-care sometimes leave us feeling just as exhausted as before?

In this episode of The Grounded Leader, I explore a quiet but common experience among high-achieving professionals: doing all the “right” self-care practices—meditation, boundaries, rest—and still feeling anxious, depleted, or emotionally flat.

The truth is, many modern self-care practices assume a regulated nervous system. But when the body is operating in survival mode—marked by chronic stress, high cortisol, and constant alertness—surface-level care often doesn’t land.

In this conversation, I share why mental health isn’t only about mindset or emotional processing. It’s also about capacity—the body’s ability to feel safe enough to rest, recover, and reconnect.

Drawing from Ayurvedic wisdom and nervous-system science, this episode reframes mental health not as another task to manage, but as something supported through rhythm, restoration, and sustainable leadership practices.

If you’ve ever wondered why self-care isn’t working the way it’s supposed to, this episode offers a compassionate and grounding perspective.

🎧🪷👉🏼 In This Episode I Explore

• Why traditional self-care often falls short for high achievers
• The role of the nervous system in mental health and burnout
• Why productivity culture can keep leaders stuck in survival mode
• The difference between self-care and nervous-system care
• How rhythm and regulation support sustainable leadership

📧 If this conversation resonated, I share gentle weekly reflections on nervous-system health, leadership, and sustainable wellbeing in my weekly newsletter.

Each note is short, grounded, and designed to help your body exhale—without adding more pressure to your day.

Until next time,
lead grounded, not depleted. 🎙️
