#269: Empathetic Leadership in a VUCA World: Combating Burnout and Mental Health Issues
In this episode of The TRU Leader Podcast, Tracy and Michelle delves into the national crisis of burnout and mental health issues in the workplace, citing a 2022 US Surgeon General report and a Microsoft survey showing high levels of burnout among managers. The pandemic has shifted expectations around work-life balance, with workers seeking more support to avoid overwork. The discussion highlights the VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) environment’s demands on staff and the need for empathetic leadership. Traditional leadership norms often involve overworking and sacrificing personal time, which can lead to burnout. Personal anecdotes illustrate the detrimental effects of such norms, emphasizing the need for new leadership practices that prioritize well-being.
The podcast advocates for changing leadership norms to prevent burnout by fostering healthy work cultures and effective priority management. Leaders are encouraged to balance professional and personal lives, leveraging the tension between opposing forces like activity and rest. It stresses the importance of shifting limiting beliefs to more empowering ones and redefining success to include balance and fulfillment. Habit formation, supported by tools like fitness trackers and morning routines, is suggested to make these new norms sustainable.
Tracy and Michelle invite listeners to join their FREE webinar “From Stress to Success, The Formula for Leaders to Excel Professionally and Personally” to help leaders adopt these new norms. The episode concludes by encouraging engagement through sharing, social media interaction, podcast subscriptions, and reviews.

A Pot of Sauce, A Pinch of Love: Cooking Through the Challenges of Dementia with Jeanette Fazzari Jones
In this heartfelt episode of AlzAuthors, we dive into the emotional and practical aspects of caring for loved ones with dementia, with a special focus on family memories and intergenerational bonds. Jeannette Fazzari Jones shares a particularly touching story about her experiences with her grandparents’ dementia, detailing both the struggles and joys she encountered along the way. She is the author of the beautifully illustrated children's book, Meatballs for Grandpa.
We talk about how the many senses like touch and smell impact memory, and how to use sensory activities to connect not just with our person with dementia, but with children who may yearn to stay connected to a beloved person. As an educator, Jeanette speaks to the kinds of activities that can be used with young children who may read or listen to the story. We discuss the traditions of cooking and treasured recipes that are handed down through families that keep family connected. Jeanette is the author of the beautifully illustrated children's book, Meatballs for Grandpa.

Love Meets the Reality of Aging in Place: Archelle’s Caregiving Story (Guest Host, Cathy Wurzer)
Archelle shares her personal story about the journey as a caregiver for her mother, Tina, who recently passed away. Guest host Cathy Wurzer leads the conversation, where they discuss the tough decisions and emotional challenges that come with caring for aging loved ones. Archelle talks about navigating the balance between honoring a loved one’s wishes and ensuring their safety and highlighting the difficult but loving decision to sometimes say "no" for their well-being.
Key Takeaways
Look for early, subtle changes in personality and decision-making. Use this moment to quietly but actively start putting plans in place for your loved one and start checking in on them more frequently.
Make sure that healthcare power of attorney documents are signed and accessible. Instead of naming co-decision-makers, it's best to designate a single individual as the primary with an alternate in case the primary is unavailable. This helps avoid delays and complexities in making urgent care decisions.
Use technology to help keep your loved one safe. Here's a list of ideas with links:
Amazon's Echo Show: This has all the features of a traditional Alexa and has the added benefit of video. This let me "drop in" to see my mom and talk to her without requiring that she know how to use the technology.
Blink Mini-Cameras: Buy multiple devices and put them in strategic locations. Make sure to buy the data storage plan so that you can review and store clips.
Medical/Safety Alert systems can include a pendant or a smart watch.
Have realistic conversations about "aging in place". Discuss the medical, financial, physical and social implications for everyone who is impacted: the aging individual as well as the caregiver(s) who assumes responsibility. Everyone's quality of life matters in this equation.
Process for identifying an assisted living:
Week 1: Do online research to identify all the facilities in the area. Read independent reviews.
Week 2: Create a list of important criteria and conduct phone interviews.
Week 3: Visit 4-6 locations.
Week 4: Schedule an extended visit and have a meal at 1-2 locations that seem like the best fit.
