LEADERSHIP THAT LASTS
LISTEN TO THE WELL PODCAST
For the high achiever who’s tired of chasing “enough.”
YOU'RE AMBITIOUS. YOU'RE DRIVEN. YOU'RE EXHAUSTED.
Behind the success, you're running on empty.
Saying yes to everything.
Wondering how long you can keep this pace.
You've achieved enough to know achievement isn't enough.
Welcome to The Well—a podcast for leaders ready to stop performing capacity they don't have and start building leadership that lasts.
Hosted by Mandy Balak, Experience Designer for Well-Resourced Leadership and author of Chasing Enough, this show helps you build the capacity your ambition requires—without burning out getting there.
Each week, you'll get:
→ The 10 Principles of The Well-Resourced Leader™ in action
→ Real conversations with leaders who've rebuilt from depletion
→ Practical tools for building capacity (micro + macro levels)
→ Pattern recognition that helps you see what's keeping you exhausted
→ Frameworks you can use the same day
Because you can't outwork what you won't feel.
And leadership that lasts requires being resourced, not depleted.

about your host
I'm Mandy Balak — Experience Designer for Well-Resourced Leadership.
Author of Chasing Enough (October 2026). President of The Gathering Festival. Creator of The Well-Resourced Method™.
I know what it's like to be successful on the outside and depleted on the inside.
For years I chased "enough"—more clients, more growth, more proving—until I realized I was building from survival instead of capacity.
That breaking point became my breakthrough.
Now I help leaders do what I had to learn the hard way:
Build capacity before you need it.
Lead from regulation, not reactivity.
Create impact that doesn't cost you everything.
This podcast is your space to build leadership
that lasts.
Each week, I share frameworks, honest insights, and conversations with leaders who've chosen capacity over depletion.
Because ambition isn't the problem. Running on empty is.
