PINCH Pt.2: Why High-Performing Women Feel Exhausted


Listen Later

Are you always “on,” always preparing for the next problem?
That constant bracing might feel productive—but it slowly turns into exhaustion.

In PINCH Part 2 of The Soul Spa on the EmpowerHER Business Podcast, Linette explores the subtle but powerful habit of bracing—the ongoing state of alertness many women in business live in without realizing it. Especially for Black women entrepreneurs navigating their first five years, bracing can feel necessary for survival. But staying in fight-or-flight mode isn’t sustainable. This reflective pause helps you recognize the tension, soften your nervous system, and choose a different way forward.

 

In this Soul Spa PINCH Part 2 episode, you’ll experience:

  • Clarity on what “bracing” looks like in everyday entrepreneurship
  • Insight into how chronic alertness becomes burnout
  • A nervous system reset to release tension in your body
  • Permission to stop operating in constant survival mode
  • Encouragement to build success without self-abandonment


 This episode is part of The Soul Spa — short solo pauses you can return to whenever you need a moment of grounding.
