High performance without self-awareness is just a faster road to burnout.

In this episode of Olympic Minds: Leadership Beyond Limits, we tackle the question most driven leaders are afraid to ask: Am I running toward success — or running from myself?

Host Sherry Winn, two-time Olympian, national championship basketball coach, and author of five leadership books, sits down with Carolyn Litton — a two-decade mortgage industry veteran and transformational coach behind The Vision Project.

Carolyn shares how she went from extreme burnout to nearly doubling her business by rebuilding her habits from the ground up, and why accessing flow state is not a wellness trend — it's a competitive advantage.

In this episode you will learn:

• Why the most driven leaders are often the least self-aware — and what it's actually costing them

• The three-part Vision, Ground, Grow framework for accessing flow state and peak performance

• How five minutes of daily stillness can unlock more productivity than five extra hours of hustle

From guided meditation to breathwork, to a deceptively simple three-part framework called Vision, Ground, Grow, this episode delivers practical tools any high-performing professional can implement starting today. If you're leading at full speed but running on empty, this one is for you.
