Silence is not passive.

It actively costs you your identity, your opportunities, and your self-worth every single time you choose not to speak.

In Episode 66 of , I sit down with — for a conversation not only about overcoming extreme adversity, journeying to radical healing, hard-won clarity, and a fierce refusal to let pain have the final word.

💡Podcast Highlights:

→ Why silence is not passive — it actively costs you your identity, opportunities, and self-worth

→ You cannot confront what you refuse to name — healing only begins when you stop protecting the silence that is keeping you bound

→ Post-traumatic growth

→ Readiness is not the absence of fear — clarity comes through movement and confidence is built through repetition, not theory

We’ve been taught that exhaustion is the price of excellence.

It isn’t. It’s the price of perfectionism.

Thank you Meeky Hwang for having me on as a guest on the Voices of Leadership Podcast to unpack perfectionism and sustainable success.

Here is what I see again and again in the high performers I work with:

They confuse self-pressure with performance.

They wear perfectionism like a badge — and call it excellence.

But Perfectionism is not “Excellencism”.

It can look productive while driving worse decisions, more stress, and performance that cannot hold up over time.

And this is not just an individual problem to willpower your way out of.
Organizations build cultures that reward the overfunctioning and treat wellbeing as a perk — instead of what it actually is: a leadership and systems issue.

Sustainable success asks for something different.

Recovery. Boundaries. And an honest redefinition of what high performance actually means.

The Dr. Lorna Breen Act was reauthorized through September 2030.

That is a massive victory.

But an extension means nothing without funding.

Congress must now act to fund $45 million for Lorna Breen Act programs in fiscal year 2027.

✅Data shows this work is already delivering real results:

→ 250,000+ health workers supported across 24 states
→ 35% reduction in staff turnover
→ 37% reduction in burnout rates
→ 50% decrease in mental health conditions
→ 47% improvement in job satisfaction

This is what funding does. This is what is at stake.

This is Mental Health Awareness Month.

Now is the time.

There’s a fight happening you might not know anything about.

Our healthcare workers are battling to secure basic dignity on many fronts including access to mental healthcare.

As an Ambassador of this Mental Health Awareness Month, I want to discuss this issue and spotlight the work of the Foundation.

⚠️ TW: Su***de

This week’s episode of , I sit down with J. Corey Feist, JD, MBA — co-founder and CEO of the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation.

“We have to change the culture at the same time as we are changing the rules.”

When Dr. Lorna Breen died by su***de in April 2020, Corey chose to speak out. What followed became the first federal law in America dedicated to protecting healthcare worker mental health — $110 million in funding.

3 million clinicians protected from invasive licensing questions that once kept them from seeking care.

The system is broken. Not the individuals in it.

💡Podcast Highlights:

→ How licensing questions have forced healthcare workers to hide mental health struggles — and the free fix in as little as 48 hours

→ The dangerous intersection of perfectionism and medicine — and why it is costing lives

→ What every person, clinician or not, can do right now to be part of the solution

→ How to contact Congress in under two minutes to fund the Dr. Lorna Breen Act extension.
