What if self-care wasn’t something you did after work—but how you worked better?

In this episode of Her Boss Brain, Pallavi Jain sits down with Jeanette Bronee, author of The Self-Care Mindset, to challenge the way high-achieving leaders think about performance, burnout, and resilience. Jeanette reframes self-care as a leadership mindset—one that builds clarity, agency, and sustainable performance instead of survival mode.

They explore power pausing, decision fatigue, emotional labor, and why caring about people—not caring for them—is the key to healthier cultures, better decisions, and human-centered leadership in an AI-driven world.
