In this episode of Playing Bigger, Playing the Beautiful Long Game, host Debbie Zita sits down with Dr. Anna Marie — The Mindset Doctor, a Doctor of Traditional Naturopathy and Certified Brain Health Expert with over 20 years of experience helping high performers break free from burnout, overachievement, and silent misalignment.
Dr. Anna Marie challenges the common idea that burnout is simply about doing too much. Her work explores what can happen when we become disconnected from our body's wisdom and caught in patterns of ego-driven performance.
As the founder of Happy Whole You and author of Stop Bullying Yourself!, Dr. Anna Marie blends neuroscience, natural medicine, and mindset work to help people reconnect with themselves and create greater clarity, energy, health, and purpose.
Together, they explore:
✨ Why what we call burnout may actually be a deeper disconnection from ourselves
✨ How overachievement and constant performance can quietly impact our wellbeing
✨ The difference between ego-driven success and soul-aligned success
✨ How our relationship with ourselves can influence our health, relationships, creativity, and income
✨ Why listening to the wisdom of the body is an important part of meaningful transformation
✨ How mindset, neuroscience, and natural medicine can work together
✨ The hidden cost of constantly striving, achieving, and proving yourself
✨ What it means to redefine success in a way that supports your whole self
✨ How reconnecting with your purpose can restore energy, clarity, and creativity
✨ Why true success doesn't have to come at the expense of your health or happiness
Dr. Anna Marie shares powerful insights into the relationship between mindset, the body, achievement, and wellbeing, challenging listeners to question whether the way they are pursuing success is actually supporting the life they want to live.
This is a conversation about burnout, identity, mindset, health, purpose, and creating a more whole and aligned way of living and leading.
