How Can Executives Spot Burnout Before It Becomes a Crisis?

Executive burnout rarely announces itself all at once. It builds through overridden warning signs, disrupted sleep, and a pace that feels sustainable right up until it is not. In this episode of Holistic Wealth and Health, Dave Alison and Greg Dillon talk with executive coach Aneta Kuzma, who left a 25-year corporate banking career after her own health scares forced a reckoning with how she was living. Aneta now works with executives and business owners navigating the same tension many of the show's listeners carry: a life that looks successful from the outside while taking a quiet toll underneath.
