🗞️ The Wellness Briefing – Edition No. 01: “The Burnout Check-In” | July 1, 2025

Quick, high-impact wellness insights for ambitious professionals. Delivered Tuesdays.

Welcome Back to The Wellness Briefing

After a brief pause, The Wellness Briefing (our weekly wellness newsletter) returns with a renewed focus:
Strategic insights for leaders navigating the intersection of performance, well-being, and workplace culture.

Each edition delivers actionable guidance on stress, burnout, leadership capacity, and organizational health—grounded in evidence, not trends.

Because sustainable performance isn’t just an HR initiative. It’s a leadership imperative.

Over the past year, I’ve worked closely with executive teams, HR leaders, and overwhelmed high achievers—many of whom were navigating rising burnout across their organizations without a clear path forward. This newsletter is one way to close that gap.

Let’s begin.


Preview of this week’s newsletter:

🧠 1 Insight Worth Reading: "What People Get Wrong About Psychological Safety" – A recent HBR article where the authors identify six common misperceptions: Psychological safety means being nice; it means getting your way; it means job security; it requires a trade-off with performance; it’s a policy; and it requires a top-down approach. They explain why each misperception gets in the way and give advice on how to counter it. Worth reading if you're interested in improving conversations and how to create climates for teams to perform well. Read on HBR

🎯 Strategic Pick: The 3-3-3 Reset Rule: If you feel overwhelmed, pause and write down 3 priorities for the day, 3 non-negotiables for your health, and 3 people you need to communicate with. Cut the rest.
