In this deeply resonant episode of Office Therapy, Dr. Brad Shuck unpacks a growing, unspoken truth: many leaders aren’t burnt out from lack of care—but from carrying too much, too often, alone. Drawing from lived experience and decades of research on engagement and leadership, Brad explores the shift from heroic compassion to sustainable systems of care. You’ll meet Maya, a leader whose story mirrors so many, and walk away with a practical playbook to redistribute emotional load, build safety into rituals, and protect the people who make workplaces work. This episode is an invitation—to pause, to reflect, and to design something better.
