Stop Outbursting And Start Recovering with Mary Guerdoux

Send us Fan Mail

The moment you start “white knuckling” your way through change, you can feel it in your body: the Sunday-night dread, the emotional outbursts you cannot explain, the exhaustion that sleep does not fix, the strange sense that the colour has drained out of your life. We sit with that reality and name it clearly, because resilience is not the same thing as endurance, and confusing the two is how capable people quietly slide into burnout.

I’m joined by Mary Guerdoux, a leadership and resilience coach who supports women navigating career transitions, identity shifts, and high-pressure seasons at work and at home. We talk about the most common misconception she sees: that resilience means staying silent, pushing harder, and holding on tighter. Mary shares what actually changes first when someone finally realises the old strategy is not working, and why it often takes a “bad enough” moment to create momentum for real change.

We also get practical. Mary explains how she uses the Energy Leadership Index (ELI) to create a snapshot of someone’s current mindset and energy, separate from personality labels or generic strengths talk. From there, we explore early warning signs of burnout, how stress shows up in everyday life, and how to handle setbacks without shame so progress does not collapse the next time life hits hard.

If you want a more grounded way to lead through uncertainty, listen now, then subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review with the signal you plan to stop ignoring.
