At first, when her gym closed down, the adrenaline of the uncertainty was enough to get her out of bed in the morning.
But as the weeks and then the months wore on, her routine slipped. From 5 days per week to 3…to hit and miss.
And that is not all that slipped.
The disrupted morning schedule, the loss of the commute time, and the amped up hours at work left her without her usual margin to think, take in a podcast or two, and get in her regular connection with friends.
She was margin-less, exhausted, feeling poorly about her body and her psyche, and it was affecting everything she did — as a leader, as a spouse, as a mom, as a friend.

This one really spoke to me personally, so following in the footsteps of some inspiring leaders, I have taken some personal strides to try to reprioritize wellness again too.
I hope that this series has been an encouragement to you as a leader and that you have taken the challenge to truly implement small changes in your habits so that you can truly be the inspiring leader you are meant to be.
