AI is acceleratingat a sickening pace. Teams are mentally and emotionally exhausted. Many leaders are asking themselves: Will I even matter if a machine can do what I can do? In this episode of the Mindful Momentum Leadership Podcast, Anu Arora sits down with Dr. Victoria Mensch—psychologist and CEO of the Silicon Valley Executive Academy, to unpack what's really stirring beneath the AI hype: fear, identity disruption, and a growing need for resilient leadership. Victoria shares practical insight from 25 years in the trenches and introduces a simple, powerful tool for rebuilding energy and agency: the Micro Joy Method -- a daily practice to burnout-proof your job, reclaim your attention, strengthen boundaries, and build capacity in high-pressure environments. Find Out: Why AI is triggering a leadership identity crisis (and what to do about it) How to lead when disruption becomes the default The difference between work-life balance and work-life harmony How to use AI to work smarter, not harder The four pillars of the Silicon Valley innovation playbook If you're leading through relentless change, this episode offers perspective and realistic next steps. ___________________ Learn more about Victoria: I'm Victoria Mensch.
