How do you move from exhaustion to excitement when your work culture feels like it betrays your deepest expectations?

Transform burnout into breakthrough on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Lora Cheadle, attorney, TEDx speaker, and creator of the Life Choreography Burnout Recovery Method, reveals why most burnout recovery fails and shares her proven approach to building thriving work environments. Listen as Dr. Joey and Lora explore:

☀️ Why burnout stems from betrayed expectations, not just stress
☀️ How to identify unrealistic expectations before they destroy your team
☀️ The power of clarity combined with curiosity in leadership
☀️ Simple ways to create candid conversations that build trust
☀️ Why looking for five positive things daily changes everything

Lora transforms organizations by helping leaders recognize that stress management alone never works. Now she shows you how to create work cultures where expectations align with reality and people thrive.

🔑 Key Insight: "Whatever you want to foster or create with others, you need to foster or create with yourself first."

💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Intentionally look for five things each day at work that you appreciate, like, or that make you laugh. Challenge your team to do the same and watch your culture transform.
