Summary
In this episode of Outsmart Burnout, Zarya Rubin, MD, speaks with Sausha Davis, founder of Sales Mama, about how high-achieving women can break the burnout cycle by leading and living from a regulated, grounded nervous system instead of constant survival mode. Sausha shares her personal journey through burnout, the importance of self-care, and how she focuses on the hidden patterns that drive burnout including people pleasing, perfectionism, over functioning, and tying worth to productivity. Many of these habits begin in childhood and follow women into motherhood, leadership, and entrepreneurship. When women stop performing and start leading from self trust, boundaries, and personal agency, their clarity returns, their creativity expands, and they reclaim the joy, purpose, and identity that burnout often steals.

You're smart, driven, and accomplished — but you're exhausted. Not the kind of tired that a good night's sleep fixes. The kind that makes you wonder how much longer you can keep going at this pace,…
Welcome to Outsmart Burnout.
I'm your host, Dr. Zarya Rubin — a Harvard-educated physician, TEDx speaker, burnout expert, and recovering overachiever — this show is for high-achieving women who are done white-knuckling their way through life and ready to reclaim their passion, purpose, and joy. As a physician who burned out in medicine and found my way back to personal and professional success, I don't just study burnout - I've lived it.
Each week, I invite expert guests to dive into the real conversations high-achieving women need most: the science of burnout and nervous system regulation, the identity shifts that midlife brings, the systems and patterns keeping you stuck, and the practical strategies to help you feel like yourself again.
Remember, burnout is not your destiny, it's your wake-up call.
