You’ve done the inner work. You’ve met your inner counsel, quieted your critics, and stepped back into the driver's seat of your life. But as a high-achieving leader, entrepreneur, or creative, how do you stay there without burning out?

In this final session of the Crown Straightening introductory series, host and therapist Burgundy Holiday tackles the most critical part of the journey: sustainability. This episode is your practical guide to building a "well-fortified queendom"—the external practices, support systems, and radical mindset shifts you need to support your new internal leadership.

If you’re tired of "doing it all" by yourself and feel like rest is a reward you never seem to earn, this conversation is your permission slip to reframe everything. Learn how to move from a cycle of burnout to a lifetime of sustainable, authentic power.

• The Radical Reframe on Rest: Why rest is not a reward you earn, but the fuel required to do the work in the first place.

• Micro-Moments of Mastery: Small, actionable ways (like a 60-second stretch or one song) to anchor yourself back to your compassionate self throughout a demanding day.

• How to "Schedule Your Sanctuary": The non-negotiable practice of blocking time for yourself on your calendar—and protecting it as fiercely as a meeting with a key stakeholder.

• Building Your "Council of Queens": The vital need for an external support system (friends, partners, and professionals) who see you beyond your title and let you be human.

• The Power of Delegation: Why outsourcing (from laundry to marketing) isn't giving up; it's buying back your time and expanding your capacity for success.

• The Marshmallow Tower Analogy: A fun visual for why the more successful you become, the wider and more robust your support base needs to be.

As Burgandy says, "No woman is an island," and "doing it by yourself is a sure-fire way to burn out."
