On this episode, Dr. Bybee shares her current struggle with overwork, a cycle she's quite familiar with as a high achiever.

As a high achiever, it's understandable to find yourself feeling overworked and possibly overwhelmed related to taking on too many responsibilities and having competing priorities. It's easy to lose track of yourself, your values, and your own needs in the process, and this often contributes to burnout.

If you're feeling overworked, join Dr. Bybee on this episode to begin to identify ways that you might take one-degree turns toward the life you'd rather be living.
