You've built a career. You've proven yourself. And now everything is changing—your role, your company, maybe your entire sense of what's next. Leading in Balance is the podcast for experienced leaders who refuse to let transition define them, but are ready to redefine themselves. Host Dr. Jessica Herbert, an ICF Professional Certified Coach who has spent 27+ years working with high-impact leaders in high-stress environments, knows the territory. She's lived the burnout, learned the patterns, and now guides leaders through the ambiguity with both analytical precision and human understanding. Each episode tackles the real issues: setting boundaries that actually hold, navigating difficult conversations with clarity, and creating space for the creativity and connection that transactional leadership steals. You'll walk away with reflection activities and practical tools to shift from surviving change to designing what comes next. Because balance isn't about doing it all—it's about choosing what matters.
