Gut+Science explores employee engagement insights you can act on, from CEOs you can trust. Get ready for high energy interviews led by employee engagement evangelist Nikki Lewallen—ones that’ll have you rethinking what it means to build successful people-first cultures.
High performance has a hidden price tag, and most leaders don’t notice it until their body, relationships, or sense of self starts waving the red flag.
Nikki sits down with coach, speaker, and performance expert Lo Myrick to unpack the invisible bottlenecks that keep high achievers stuck. Together, they explore identity, nervous system regulation, boundaries, decision fatigue, people-pleasing, and what it really means to lead from alignment instead of pressure.
Lo brings a powerful blend of science, strategy, and spirituality to help people-first leaders understand that the next level is not just about doing more. It is about becoming the version of yourself who can hold more without losing yourself in the process.
