Restless ExcellenceWhen Growth Requires Letting GoSend a textIn this episode of Restless Excellence, Tonya Richards explores something we don’t talk about enough in leadership and in life: endings.Not dramatic exits nor impulsive decisions, the quiet realization that something no longer fits. Maybe it’s a role you once loved, a relationship, a habit, or a version of yourself. At some point, you feel the edges fraying; the alignment slipping and energy draining in ways you can’t ignore anymore so the question becomes: How do you navigate endings and transitions without abandoning yourself in the process...

Restless ExcellenceStay, Leave, or RedefineSend a textHosted by Tonya Richards, Restless Excellence continues its journey...but this phase hits a little different.In the first phase of the podcast, Tonya invited listeners into deep self-awareness. Where you recognize how high performance can quietly turn into self-abandonment and name the stories you’ve been carrying about success, loyalty, worth, and resilience. But awareness is only the beginning.In this episode, Tonya Richards introduces Phase Two of the Restless Excellence journey: choice and discernment.What do you do when you can no lon...

Restless ExcellenceThe Myth of Balance and What Actually WorksSend a textHosted by Tonya Richards, this episode challenges the tidy equation we’ve all been sold: 8 hours of work, 8 hours of life, 8 hours of sleep; as if life is a ledger that only works when perfectly divided.But life doesn’t move in neat columns. It moves in seasons; of building, caregiving, ambition, and recovery. If you’re waiting for perfect balance, you’ll always feel behind.In this conversation, Tonya reframes balance through the lens of Restless Excellence; not as equal hours or a rigid structure, but as a...

Restless ExcellenceLeadership Is Not a Title - It’s a Practice!Send us a textIn this episode of Restless Excellence, Tonya Richards reframes leadership as a daily practice rather than a position you’re granted. Building on earlier conversations about ambition, exhaustion, and the hidden costs of excellence, this episode explores what leadership looks like when it’s rooted in presence, values, and responsibility...not hierarchy.Through reflection and personal experience, Tonya examines the difference between positional power and real influence. She shares why some of the most impactful leadership moments happen without formal authority and how trust, clarity, and consistency matter more than control.

Restless ExcellenceThe Cost of Excellence No One Talks AboutSend us a textIn this episode of Restless Excellence, Tonya Richards explores the hidden cost of high performance; the toll excellence can take when it stops being a choice and starts becoming an obligation. Through personal reflection and lived experience, she names what many high achievers feel but struggle to articulate: the exhaustion that doesn’t match the success, the tension that lingers even when you’re doing everything “right.”This episode examines:How excellence can quietly shift from a tool into an identityThe “strong one” role and why it’s often assigned, not chosenWhy...

Restless ExcellenceThe Unspoken Contract of ExcellenceSend us a textIn this intimate, story-driven episode, Tonya Richards names something many high performers feel but rarely articulate: the unspoken contract that quietly forms when being capable becomes the price of belonging.Lifted from her leadership journal, listeners are dropped straight into a familiar moment; a meeting where praise sounds like trust and opportunity. This episode explores how responsibility accumulates long before it ever feels like burnout. Not through crisis or chaos, but through steady absorption. Through being “the one who can handle it.” The one people rely on. The one who makes thing...

Restless ExcellenceThe Manifesto: When Excellence Starts to Feel HeavySend us a textThere’s a moment many high performers don’t recognize right away...the moment when excellence stops feeling meaningful and starts feeling heavy.In this opening episode of Restless Excellence, Tonya Richards speaks directly to the leaders, caretakers, and high achievers who keep showing up even when they’re running on fumes. The deep exhaustion that comes from over-functioning, carrying responsibility, and being relied on for too long without pause.This episode is an invitation to take a peek into Tonya's leadership journal, slow down and tell the tr...

Restless ExcellenceRestless Excellence - The Origin StorySend us a textRestless Excellence was born in the quiet moments most people don’t see.It began not with a brand strategy or a polished vision, but with handwritten reflections; notes made after long days of leadership, difficult decisions, and conversations that lingered well beyond the meeting room. It came from the need to make sense of the emotional labor, the responsibility, and the invisible weight that often accompanies doing meaningful work.As a leader, Tonya Richards noticed a pattern: excellence was frequently celebrated, but the cost of sustaining it...

What if leadership wasn’t about having all the answers but about being honest enough to think in real time?Restless Excellence is a reflective leadership podcast for people who care deeply about impact, integrity, and sustainability. Hosted by Tonya Richards, this podcast is part leadership journal, part thinking-out-loud space; intentionally unpolished to reflect how leadership actually happens.Some episodes are drawn directly from written reflections.
