This isn’t another pep talk about self-care or “finding balance.” It’s an exposed nerve for anyone barely holding it together, clothes still on from work, kids screaming, marriage hanging by a thread, and a toxic job eating you alive. Krista Rizzo hits the floor—literally—and lays it out: No one’s coming to help until you ask. You’re not failing because you can’t keep up. You’re crumbling because you won’t stop pretending you have to.

On this episode of The Uncharted Way, we get raw with Krista Rizzo—a certified life coach, TEDx speaker, author, and host of the Why Am I Yelling Podcast. If you feel burned out, suffocating under perfectionism, or just tired of carrying everyone else’s world on your back, this conversation is your permission slip: you’re not crazy, you’re not broken, you’re just buried under a story that’s overdue for rewriting.

If you’re ready to stop apologizing for needing more—more rest, more support, more truth—this episode cuts past the fluff. We get into identity, fear, and how to finally give yourself permission to play big, even when it costs relationships or shakes up old family patterns. Stuck and burned out? You’re not alone. But you don’t have to stay there.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• How to recognize when your “normal” is actually silent suffering—and why it’s so common for women
• Practical ways to break free from burnout before it shatters your health, relationships, and dreams
• Why asking for help—and receiving it—can be the most rebellious act of self-love
• How to stop apologizing for who you are (even if who you are is loud, messy, opinionated, and allergic to “perfect”)
• Tools for finding yourself beyond the boxes and expectations handed down by family, work, or culture
• What real self-care looks like—and why saying yes to yourself is the ultimate act of courage

✨ Key Takeaway

Your life doesn’t change when you “do it all”—it changes when you finally drop the act, claim your voice, and decide you’re done suffering in silence.
