Episode 58
Wednesday, 30 July, 2025
In this episode of the Art of Balance Podcast, hosted by Jayne Morris, the UK’s Leading Executive Burnout Coach, we explore the truth about resilience and burnout with special guest Kai-Nneka Townsend. A Leadership Resilience & Burnout Consultant with over a decade of experience in the corporate world, Kai-Nneka shares her powerful story of reaching breaking point, and how it led her to redefine what true resilience looks like.Together, Jayne and Kai-Nneka unpack the myths around resilience in leadership, explore how stress shows up differently for high achievers, and introduce a five-part model of real, sustainable resilience. They discuss why pushing through isn’t a strategy, how personal challenges intensify work-related stress, and why recovery starts with intentional pauses and support, not spa days or surface solutions.Whether you're a leader, coach, or someone navigating stress, this episode offers compassionate insight, practical strategies, and a vital reminder that real resilience begins with looking after yourself.Episode Timeline00:00 Introduction to the Art of Balance Podcast00:47 Meet Our Guest: Kai-Nneka Townsend01:17 Kai-Nneka’s Personal Burnout Story04:41 The Hidden Pressure of Leadership and Lack of Support09:53 Why Holidays and Spa Days Aren’t Enough14:17 Noticing the Silent Burnout of Other Leaders16:55 What Real Resilience Looks Like: A 5-Part Model21:57 Reframing Resilience and Letting Go of Overperformance23:58 Planning Ahead for Stressful Seasons28:09 The Power of Coaching and Safe Spaces31:50 Overplayed Strengths and the Role of Reflection35:34 Practical Ways to Pause on Purpose37:01 Final Reflections: Alignment, Bravery & Sustainable Change38:49 Closing Remarks and GratitudeBalanceology is a leading coaching company that focuses on supporting individuals and organisations in the prevention of workplace burnout.
