The Real Work: Why Today’s Leaders Are Breaking—and How to Heal While Leading

Why are so many brilliant leaders breaking down behind closed doors? In this powerful episode, Dawn Stone—speaker, strategist, and founder of The Conflict Chick™—gets real about what’s really happening in today’s workplace. Backed by peer-reviewed research and grounded in psychology frameworks like Emotional Intelligence and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Dawn explores the top five pain points her clients face—from burnout and conflict avoidance to the emotional labor of high-achieving women and neurodivergent leaders. If you’re a people leader, founder, or change agent silently struggling to stay afloat while managing your team, your vision, and your sanity—this episode will hit home. You’ll also learn about Dawn’s trauma-informed Somatic Framework™, why conflict isn’t the problem (avoidance is), and how her Conflict to Collaboration™ community and training programs are transforming workplaces across the country. ✨ Ready to reset and rise?
