About this listen
In this timely and compassionate episode of The Workplace Therapy Podcast, Scott Arrieta and co-host Dr. Sarah Gould sit down with Anna Pinkerton, a world-renowned trauma specialist and founder of Kindness Informed Leadership. With over 30 years of clinical experience, Anna brings deep insight into the psychological toll of chronic stress, burnout, and trauma in leadership—and how kindness isn’t a weakness but a revolutionary act of resilience.
Together, they explore:
How untreated trauma shows up in leadership
The signs of chronic stress and early-stage burnout
Why traditional productivity-driven cultures are breaking people
The false dichotomy between kindness and accountability
Practical frameworks for healing and supporting ourselves and our teams
The power of vulnerability, presence, and emotional regulation in high-stakes environments
Anna’s message is clear: Kindness is not about being nice—it’s about being brave, present, and connected. This episode is a must-listen for anyone in leadership who wants to build a culture that sustains people, not just profits.
