On Mind Over Masculinity, Avik drills into a no-nonsense framework with Dr. Greg Woodard—Navy veteran, chaplain, leadership coach, and author of Leadership From Within: Navigating the Path Toward Soul-Driven Success. Greg unpacks four sustaining rhythms—spiritual, emotional, relational, physical—that keep leaders effective without imploding behind closed doors. We get into early burnout signals (fatigue, medicating stress, dramatizing minor issues), why authenticity beats performance, and how emotionally literate men lead better at home and at work. If you’re “winning” publicly but exhausted privately, this episode gives you a practical operating system to realign purpose, presence, and output—across boardrooms, ships, and family rooms.   About the Guest   Dr. Greg Woodard served 22 years in the U.S. military, 15 as a Navy chaplain, then transitioned to spiritual direction and leadership coaching. His work centers on sustainable, conviction-based leadership for faith-driven professionals. Author of Leadership From Within.   Key Takeaways: Spot the gap: Leading for popularity or performance—rather than conviction—creates misalignment and burnout. Four rhythms: Build daily spiritual, emotional, relational, and physical practices; sustainability is a habit stack, not a weekend reset. Early warning signs: Persistent fatigue, dread on waking, dramatizing small issues, strained family dynamics, or self-medicating to cope. Emotions ≠ weakness: Men who acknowledge and process feelings (journaling, therapy, coaching, spiritual direction) lead with clarity instead of reactivity. Model rest: Sleep and recovery are strategic assets; decision quality craters without them. Attachment echoes: Old relational patterns shape leadership; secure connection improves influence and culture. Name it, then fix it: Admit the private crash, make amends where needed, and implement concrete changes—not just words. Purpose over posturing: Whole-self alignment beats charisma; presence scales better than pressure.   Connect with the Guest   As shared in the episode:• Free resource: page.gregard.com• Website & book page: GregWoodard.com (see top navigation for Leadership From Within)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
