Burnout doesn’t always arrive as a breaking point.

For many high-achieving, capable women, it shows up quietly, when a life that still “works” on the outside no longer feels coherent on the inside. Nothing is obviously wrong. You’re still functioning, producing, meeting expectations. And yet, something feels off.

In this episode, I explore burnout not as failure, weakness, or lack of resilience, but as information.

Rather than treating burnout as either a personal shortcoming or a purely systemic problem, I examine the space where agency and constraint collide. Where loyalty to an outdated version of ourselves, a role, or a life structure quietly becomes unsustainable. And where rest alone doesn’t resolve the deeper question being asked.

This conversation is not about quick fixes, productivity hacks, or pushing through discomfort. It’s about understanding burnout as a slow-burn signal of misalignment—one that often emerges as we evolve beyond the lives we once built with good reason.

If you’ve ever felt successful on paper but unsettled in your body, this episode offers a different way to understand what’s happening—and why clarity doesn’t come from rushing to fix it.

Sometimes the work isn’t to solve the problem yet.

It’s to stay with the question long enough to hear what it’s actually asking.
