826. From Burnout to Balance: Sound Healing, Stress Relief & Responsible Influence
Burnout rarely happens all at once. More often, it builds slowly through constant stress, sleepless nights, neglected self-care, and the pressure to keep pushing—even when your body and relationships are telling you something needs to change.
In this episode of Daily Influence, Gregg-Brooke Koleno sits down with Lori Lea, founder of Lori Lea Healing Hopes, to explore her journey from more than 20 years in the corporate world including serving as the CFO of an international company to discovering a new approach to balance, healing, and intentional living.
Lori shares how chronic stress began affecting her health, relationships, communication, and ability to remain present and the wake-up call that ultimately led her to step away and reassess what truly mattered. She also explains how her personal exploration of sound healing and energy healing evolved into a way to help others slow down, reconnect, and create greater calm in their lives.
Together, Gregg and Lori discuss how unmanaged stress can influence the way leaders communicate, make decisions, and treat the people around them—and why caring for ourselves is an important part of responsible leadership and positive influence.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
• The warning signs of burnout that are easy to overlook
• How chronic stress can affect leadership, communication, and decision-making
• Lori’s transition from corporate CFO to sound and energy healing practitioner
• What happens during a sound bath and how Lori creates an environment for relaxation
• Simple techniques for resetting during stressful moments
• The importance of boundaries, rest, gratitude, and being fully present
• Why self-care is not selfish—and how restoring yourself can improve the influence you have on others
Lori’s story is a reminder that slowing down does not mean abandoning your responsibilities. Sometimes, creating space to restore yourself is exactly what allows you to return with greater clarity, patience, and intention.
