Ever felt like you’re doing all the right things… but still running on empty?

In this powerful Cuppa.tv conversation, mindfulness and burnout coach Chibs Okereke (https://cuppa.pickmybrain.world/profiles/chibs-okereke) explores the hidden connection between childhood trauma and burnout — especially in high achievers.

Many driven, capable people pride themselves on resilience, productivity, and pushing through. But beneath perfectionism, people-pleasing, and overthinking often lies something deeper: early-life survival strategies that once kept us safe — and now quietly drive exhaustion.

This episode reframes burnout as more than physical fatigue. It’s often emotional. Nervous system-based. Patterned.

Together, we unpack:

• Why burnout isn’t just about workload

• The childhood roots of high-achiever traits

• How survival patterns show up in leadership and performance

• Chibs’ powerful “Mindfulness for Strivers” framework

• Practical tools to build calm, clarity, and sustainable success

If you’re a leader, founder, professional, or high performer who feels constantly “on,” this conversation may change the way you understand yourself.

This one’s for the doers, the dreamers, and anyone ready to break the burnout cycle.
