In this powerful episode of the UpliftHER Leadership Series on the Self-Care Goddess Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Lindsay Preston, Founder and CEO of Trust & Leadership Coaching, a neuroscience-backed leadership firm helping high-achieving women evolve into sustainable, regulated, high-performing leaders.
Our conversation was a deeply honest and illuminating exploration of what happens when ambition outpaces the body, and how true leadership begins not with doing more, but with listening more deeply to ourselves. Lindsay vulnerably shared her journey through burnout, ADHD discovery, nervous system healing, and the profound shift from “high achiever” to “high performer.”
✨ In this expansive and insightful conversation, we explored:
✅ The difference between high achievement and high performance, and why doing less can actually create more impact
✅ How burnout can happen even when you love your work
✅ The role of the nervous system in leadership, resilience, and decision-making
✅ Why women are burning out faster — and how hormonal cycles and biology play a role
✅ The importance of rest, recovery, and nervous system regulation for sustainable success
✅ How wearables and self-awareness tools can support wellbeing without biohacking overwhelm
✅ Redefining work-life balance through integration, boundaries, and values
✅ Why emotional awareness is one of the most essential leadership skills
