SUMMARY:AM Beats: Trey Tippens\, Psy.D First Health of the Carolinas
DESCRIPTION:AM Beats – Trey Tippens\, Psy.D First Health of the Carolinas \nTopic: Stop Performing Resilience: Burnout\, Boundaries\, and What Sustainable Leadership Actually Requires \nPresenter: Trey Tippen\, Psy.D\, FirstHealth of the Carolinas \nAM BEATS returns this quarter with a powerful and timely conversation for leaders\, business owners\, and professionals who are carrying more than ever. In a culture that often celebrates endurance over wellbeing\, this session challenges the myth that resilience means “pushing through” at all costs. \nDr. Trey Tippen\, a respected psychologist with FirstHealth of the Carolinas\, will guide attendees through the realities of burnout\, the emotional and physical toll of chronic overextension\, and the hidden ways high‑achieving professionals perform resilience instead of truly experiencing it. \nThis session explores: \nWhy burnout is rising even among strong\, capable leaders\nHow boundary erosion happens quietly in fast‑paced work environments\nWhat sustainable leadership actually looks like\, beyond grit and grind\nPractical strategies for restoring balance\, protecting mental wellness\, and leading with clarity rather than depletion\nParticipants will leave with a renewed understanding of resilience as a practice\, not a performance\, and with tools to build a healthier\, more sustainable approach to leadership and life. \n \n
