Ever feel like you're crushing it on paper — goals, career, family — but inside you're totally drained, disconnected, and running on fumes? You're not alone.
In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, we're diving into a form of burnout high-achieving women often overlook — the kind that doesn't look like burnout but feels like emotional exhaustion, especially after 40.
I'm unpacking common thoughts and beliefs high-performing women carry that slowly sabotage their health, happiness, and progress — especially after 40. Things like: "I'm too busy." "If I slow down, I'll fall behind." "If I'm not doing, I'm failing." Sound familiar?
We'll talk about why this happens, how it's tied to stress, hustle culture, and outdated narratives — and how to start actually regulating your nervous system so you can feel good in your body again. No BS. Just real talk, some personal stories, and practical ways to start reconnecting with yourself!
Oh, and if you missed last week's episode — "7 Exercises to Lose Weight That Have Nothing to Do with the Gym" — definitely hit that one first for some helpful context.
