What happens when the life you've been running on autopilot suddenly forces you to stop? In this episode, Mo Fong sits down with Tracy Kreiss — leadership and mental wellness coach, author of 21 Day Shadow Work, ICF Sacramento board member, and someone who has spent 25 years helping professionals develop as leaders. Tracy shares how her husband's diagnosis with Lewy body dementia became the wake-up call that pulled her off the hamster wheel and into a completely different way of living and leading. Together, they explore why so many high performers operate in survival mode without realizing it, what conscious leadership really means, how shadow work uncovers the limiting beliefs we've been carrying since childhood, and why self-love — not the bubble bath kind, but the deep internal dialogue kind — is the foundation for every meaningful relationship, including leadership.
