Burnout: Now With Bonus Chronic Conditions


Listen Later

Four high-achieving women (us, yes talking about us, your hosts) get uncomfortably honest about burnout, including the moment their bodies stopped responding to the constant grind and stress. We're talking hospital visits, fainting, falling down stairs while pregnant, and yes, 30 firemen (you'll have to listen). Oh, and IBS that knows about your board meeting before you do.

Here's the uncomfortable truth: burnout doesn't always feel like burnout. It feels like Tuesday. It disguises itself as "just work" and "I'm fine" while quietly dismantling your nervous system, your gut, and your sleep, until it doesn't.

We break down how stress shows up differently for everyone, why high performers are often the last to see it coming, and why your body has been sending you memos you've been ignoring for years.

This isn't about bubble baths and boundaries. It's about recognizing that unchecked stress can — and does — kill people. And that pulling back isn't weakness. It's the job.

If you're a leader, a high performer, a mom, woman trying to do it all or someone who just said "I'm not even stressed" while your eye twitched, this one's for you.
