Dusty is joined by Dr. Lani Jones—clinical psychologist, executive advisor, and entrepreneur—for a conversation about walking away from the security of a children’s hospital career to build a life and business on her own terms. Lani shares how burnout in the healthcare system forced her to confront the difference between loving her work and losing herself in the noise of climbing ladders and checking boxes. That turning point led her into private practice, then into coaching high-performing leaders through the same struggles of identity, balance, and purpose. She reflects on the myth of work-life balance, the power of viewing life in seasons, and why leaders must reclaim their agency by aligning their calendars with their deepest priorities. Along the way, Dusty and Lani explore the isolation of leadership, the courage required to live well, and how intentional self-leadership creates the freedom to lead others with greater impact. This episode will challenge you to reject success defined by others, embrace the tension of growth, and design a life that actually feels like freedom.
