Burnout isn’t just about having too much to do - it’s about having too much to feel. In this episode of Disrupt & Innovate, Lisa L. Levy sits down with Dr. Lorea Martinez Perez to redefine how we look at exhaustion, burnout, and the emotional overload that often precedes them. Dr. Lorea explains why traditional self-care often fails to address the root causes of burnout and how emotional intelligence is the essential skill for identifying destructive patterns before they take hold. We dive into the "contagious" nature of emotions within team dynamics, the reality of decision fatigue, and why leadership requires a high level of emotional awareness to maintain a healthy workplace wellness culture. One of the most practical parts of our conversation is the introduction of the "chill pause" - a simple but powerful technique leaders can use to regulate heightened emotions in real-time, allowing for better decisions and stronger relationships.
