Leading Under Pressure — A Clinician's Guide to Stress, Resilience, and the Whole Leader

What happens in the mind and body of a leader under sustained stress — and what can leaders do about it before burnout takes the chair? This week, the People's Doctors welcome Natasha Mullen, licensed mental health expert, clinical supervisor, and Founder & CEO of Milestones Consultants, LLC. With more than 25 years of experience spanning schools, community agencies, and private practice, Natasha brings a therapist's insight to a leadership problem: the toll that pressure, responsibility, and unresolved stress take on those at the top.

Drawing on her expertise in trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems, and clinical supervision, she shares how leaders can recognize their own stress responses, build genuine resilience, and create organizations where wellness isn't an afterthought. A Compassionate Champion Award honoree and sought-after speaker featured in Essence Magazine, Natasha reminds us that healing, resilience, and empowerment are possible for every leader — and every team they serve.
