Do you sit in your driveway for 10 minutes because you don’t have the energy to switch from "Boss" to "Mom"?
Does a full weekend of sleep leave you feeling just as exhausted and stressed out on Monday morning?
Are you telling yourself the lie, "I’m not dealing with burnout at work, I’m just tired," while your body is screaming for stability and peace?
In this inaugural episode, I am exposing the root of your exhaustion and showing you why "doing too much" is keeping you trapped.
You aren't suffering from a lack of sleep; you are suffering from a lack of setting boundaries. For too long, you have treated your soul like a machine, trying to fix a deep spiritual and emotional drain with a quick nap. Now, you are facing a choice: keep running on empty, or get honest about your burnout symptoms so you can finally reclaim your freedom.
This is the start of your burnout recovery. We are diving into how to stop managing the chaos, trade your people-pleasing habits for deep rest, and embrace the biblical encouragement you need to protect your calling.
If the heavy cape of the "Strong Black Woman" is stealing your peace and you are ready to find true stability, this episode is for you.

Tired in a way no vacation has ever fixed? You lead the meeting, answer every email and still feel behind. You smile at your team and cry in your car. You hold everything together for everyone at…
Boundaries Over Burnout is the podcast for high-achieving women of faith who lead and say yes when they mean no. You are good at your demanding career. You manage the team, mentor the new hire and fix what everyone else missed. Somewhere along the way you lost yourself.
Here is the truth no one told you. Your burnout comes from being buried in the wrong things. The busywork you took on to feel worthy is draining you, while the work God actually made you for sits waiting. When you get still and hear him, the exhaustion starts to lift.
Hosted by Twana Anderson, a mom, recovered people pleaser and former Wall Street executive. She spent 18 years leading teams and saying yes when she wanted to say no. She used to protect billion-dollar systems. Now she teaches you how to protect yourself. She knows this road because she lived it, all the way to scheduling surgery just to have an excuse to sit down.
Each week you will learn how to lead your team without losing yourself. How to stop people pleasing and stop letting everyone else’s opinion run your life. How to set the boundaries you should have set years ago with your boss, your team, your calendar and even at home. How to manage your stress and heal from taking on too much for too long. How to quiet the anxiety, stop overthinking and trust God with the dream you put down because someone said it would never make money.
Twana brings biblical encouragement and real talk to help you rest in who God says you are and finally step into the life he already has for you.
