Pep Talk: “Exhaustion is not your personality.”
Dear Boss Babe... you’ve been telling yourself, “I’m fine. I’m just tired. It’s just a busy season.” But what if that’s not the truth?
What if you’re ignoring the very signs that are trying to save you?
Most high-achieving women don’t break down from one big moment — we burn out because we dismiss months of small signals, all while performing, producing, and pushing at a level that looks impressive… but feels heavy.
Today’s pep talk is the reminder your spirit has been waiting for.
In this short but powerful reset, Ericka delivers the kind of tough-love pep talk every ambitious woman needs.
Inside this episode, you’ll hear:
How chronic stress hides behind success, competence, and hustle culture — and why you’ve normalized exhaustion without realizing it.
Your spark.
Your joy.
Your voice.
Your identity.
Your energy to dream the way you used to.
Ericka breaks down the difference between:
– “I’m overwhelmed”
– “I’m shutting down”
– and the dangerous autopilot many high achievers mistake for strength
– Tight chest
– Clenched jaw
– Irritability
– Forgetfulness
– Heavy routines
– Sparkless mornings
– Sleep that doesn’t restore you
Ericka guides you through:
– Questioning your pace
– Checking whether you’re surviving or actually thriving
– Micro-moments that bring you back home to yourself
– Nervous-system safety resets
– Small acts of self-care high achievers forget to do
This is the pep talk every boss babe deserves — especially the ones who never slow down long enough to hear their own truth.
