Ready To Rise

395. Why High Achievers Struggle to Call Out Sick


Listen Later

This one is personal. Last week Audrey went through an unexpected hormone crash after having her Nexplanon removed and it completely took her out — anxiety through the roof, a migraine that wouldn't quit, brain fog, and a body that was just done. And yet the hardest part wasn't the physical symptoms. It was giving herself permission to stop. In this raw and relatable episode Audrey shares exactly what went down, what finally got her nervous system regulated again, and the message she wishes every high achieving woman would hear before they hit their breaking point.

In this episode you'll learn:

  • What happened when Audrey's Nexplanon was removed and why the hormone crash hit so much harder than expected
  • Why high achievers are wired to push through — and why that instinct can actually work against us when our body genuinely needs rest
  • The guilt spiral that hit after calling out of work and why it made everything worse
  • Why showing up when you truly cannot function isn't strength — it's a risk to you and everyone around you
  • How to give yourself actual permission to stop without needing to justify it to anyone
