Today's guest is Amy Leneker, Author of Cheers to Monday, The Surprisingly Simple Method to Lead and Live with Less Stress and More Joy.
Amy is refreshing, joyful —and deeply practical—in this conversation about stress, burnout, and how to stop living your workweek as a countdown to Friday. My favorite quote? Make more space for joy.
Amy shares the wake-up call that changed everything for her, and became her personal turning point.
She takes us through the heart of her approach, the Unstressing Method—which includes See, Sort, and Solve—a simple framework designed to help people identify what’s driving their stress, categorize it into actionable types, and choose a clear next step instead of spiraling into overthinking. Something we all know very well. The conversation also tackles why common workplace “solutions” can backfire and how leaders can create cultures of well-being where people feel safe, connected, and able to grow. This all applies to families, as well as the workplace.
Most importantly, Amy makes a compelling case for putting joy back on the calendar—not as fluff or denial, but as a real resilience tool. If you’ve ever felt stuck in overwork, people-pleasing, or constant urgency, this episode offers concrete tools to help you reset how you work, lead, and live—starting with Monday.
