Stop the Maddness: We Weren’t Meant to Lead Like This
BOTTOM LINE is WE ARE TIRED.
And it’s not just the kind of tired that a nap or trending affirmation can fix.
Holding space for others, Navigating broken systems, Showing up for your community while your soul quietly screams.
When we say "Stop the Maddness," we’re not being dramatic. We’re being real.
What Is the Maddness? (Yes, with 2 D’s—on purpose)
The Disconnection. Dysfunction. That’s the double D in Maddness. We’re not just hosting an event—we’re dismantling the cycles that keep our communities stuck.
“maddness” is what happens when:
Leaders are burning out under the weight of invisible labor.
Faith-based professionals are expected to lead, serve, heal, fundraise, and mentor—with no rest or support.
Teachers and healthcare workers are emotionally depleted and still required to pour from empty cups.
Parents are navigating trauma while trying to raise emotionally safe children.
And mental health providers—yes, the ones doing the holding—are unraveling behind closed doors without being able to afford therapy themselves.
This is not ok …We are not okay.
Why This Moment Matters
We’re living through a leadership crisis—not because people stopped caring, but because they’ve been stretched too thin for too long and most aren’t connected to a financial backing that can ensure sustainability of the visions that would create lasting change.
Community leadership has become martyrdom.
Wellness is treated like a luxury.
And urgency is the new baseline.
🔹 38% of faith-based leaders are considering leaving ministry due to burnout.
🔹 Over 40% of therapists say their caseloads are unsustainable.
🔹 And burnout doesn’t just end with the leader—it ripples into their families, clients, teams, and communities.
This is a generational emergency—and unless we stop the madness now, dysfunction becomes legacy.
