She-Suties Podcast With Jodi Hood. Season 3. Episode 22: Guard Your Heart, Literally: A Summer Health Reminder For Women in Leadership

In this episode Dr. Jodi adds another "R" to the previous podcast Rest, Relaxation, and Rejuvenation. That "R" is Routine Checkup. Dr. Jodi reminds She-Suites that leadership is often described as a marathon, not a sprint. But even marathon runners stop for water stations, health checks, and recovery. The goal is not simply to finish the race. The goal is to finish strong. Chicago's recent losses remind us that none of us knows how much time we have. So don't postpone the appointment. Don't ignore the symptoms. Don't assume you're too busy. Your organization can replace your position. Your family can never replace you.She-Suites Podcast with Jodi Hood.
