    Pep Talk: "You're Not Tired Because You're Doing Too Much"

    Dear boss babe.. If you’re doing everything right and still feeling quietly exhausted, this episode is for you. This isn’t about burning down or falling apart — it’s about the kind of burnout that lingers even when you’re resting. In this pep talk, I share why burnout isn’t always about doing too much — and how hustle culture and mismatched self care can leave you drained, unsupported, and questioning your work life balance. Sometimes we don’t need more rest. We need better alignment, structure, and support that actually fits our lives. You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re just unsupported in the way you actually need. Let’s talk about small shifts that help your body exhale, your nervous system settle, and your life feel lighter again. And if you want more, listen to Episode 139, where I break down how love languages show up in your work life and energy management. I’m rooting for you — and the version of your life that supports you is closer than you think. 💛 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Pep Talk: “Busy Is Not the Same as Moving”

    Dear boss babe .. Somewhere along the way, thinking replaced moving… and you didn’t even notice when it happened. In this episode, I’m calling out the sneaky way overthinking disguises itself as productivity, why procrastination isn’t laziness, and how burnout shows up even in the most driven, capable people. I share my own experience as a high achiever who starts fast but gets overwhelmed in the messy middle — the part no one glamorizes. We’re talking hustle culture, nervous system protection, self care that actually supports execution, and why you don’t need more motivation — you need more structure. This is for the woman who’s doing everything yet feels like nothing is moving. You’re not behind. You’re under-supported. Why overthinking is a nervous system response — not a personal flaw How hustle culture fuels burnout and procrastination The real reason high achievers get stuck in the “messy middle” Why self care without structure keeps you stuck How to take one supported step forward without clarity or perfection If this episode hit close to home, that’s your sign. If you’re done burning out, done overthinking, done trying to self-manage your way out of hustle culture — The Reset Room was built for you. The Reset Room is where high achievers go to slow down without falling behind. It’s structured self care, nervous-system-safe support, and tools that help you actually follow through — even when clarity isn’t there yet. ✨ Join The Reset Room and stop trying to hold your entire life together by yourself. You don’t need more pressure. You need a system that supports you. hustle culture, high achiever, burn out, self care, overthinking, procrastination This podcast was produced by Your Girl Media Learn more about your ad choices.

    137: Overthinking and Need to Get Out of Your Head? Listen to This to Avoid Burnout

    Today I’m breaking down why overthinking and procrastination are so common for high-achieving women, and why this has nothing to do with laziness, lack of discipline, or mindset. This is not a “think positive” conversation. This is not about pushing harder or doing more self-care. And it’s definitely not about fixing you. I’m talking about: Why overthinking is a signal, not a flaw Why procrastination is emotional friction, not resistance to work How hustle culture quietly fuels burnout Why high achievers stay busy but stuck Why motivation keeps failing you And what actually breaks the cycle: structure, systems, and support If you’ve been working hard but still feel behind, I promise—you’re not imagining it. If you’re listening to this and thinking, “This is literally me,” that’s exactly why I created The Reset Room. The Reset Room is a private membership for ambitious women who want to: Grow and earn at a higher level without burning out Stop overthinking every decision Reclaim 10–15 hours a week Build life systems that actually support their ambition Inside, we replace hustle culture with structure, chaos with clarity, and burnout with sustainable momentum. Because every week you stay overloaded is another week your income, impact, and confidence get quietly delayed. 👉 Join The Reset Room Visit reset.bossbabe.com or click the link in the show notes. If your ambition has outgrown the way your life is set up right now—this is where that changes. If this episode resonated with you: Leave a five-star rating and review Share it with a friend who’s stuck in hustle mode And ask yourself: Where am I relying on motivation instead of structure?

    Pep Talk: “You are Designed for More”

    Dear Boss Babe… If you’ve been feeling like your life doesn’t fit anymore — like you’re outgrowing something you can’t quite name — I need you to hear this: you are not broken, behind, or confused. You’re evolving faster than the systems you built to support an older version of yourself. And that low-level exhaustion that doesn’t go away, even when you rest? That’s not random. That’s your next level asking for more capacity. In this episode, I’m speaking directly to the high achiever who’s tired of hustle culture but doesn’t know how to slow down without losing momentum. I’m breaking down what actually causes burnout — and why it’s not because you’re doing too much, but because your life is still organized for a version of you that no longer exists. I share my own evolution from being the quiet, responsible, behind-the-scenes woman to stepping into more visibility, leadership, and responsibility — and how every time I delayed upgrading my systems, I paid for it in exhaustion, self-doubt, and second-guessing myself. Here’s the truth most people miss: rebranding yourself isn’t about confidence — it’s about capacity. You can want more income, more freedom, more impact. But if your life is still built for less responsibility, less visibility, and a smaller vision, burnout becomes inevitable — no matter how much self-care you try to stack on top. In this episode, we talk about: Why hustle culture burns out high achievers How outdated systems create burnout and overwhelm Why self-care doesn’t work when your life can’t support you What rebranding yourself actually looks like in real life How to build stability without losing ambition Becoming unrecognizable doesn’t start with bold moves. It starts with boring structure — and boring is what allows you to grow without burning out. Before you move on, ask yourself this:Where is my life still organized for a version of me I’ve already outgrown? That answer is your next level. If this episode resonated and you know motivation isn’t the problem — your systems are — I created The Reset Room for you. The Reset Room is where high achievers step out of burnout, rebuild their routines, and create lives that actually support who they’re becoming — without hustle culture or self-abandonment. Join us inside The Reset Room and start creating a life that fits. And if this episode spoke to you, share it with another boss babe who’s quietly outgrowing her life.
