    How High-Achieving Women Can Reclaim Control Without Quitting Their Careers | Elisha Meek HR EP. 67

    If you're successful on paper… but exhausted in real life — this episode is for you. Burnout advice often sounds like: “Take a bubble bath.” “Light a candle.” “Just quit.” But what if you don’t want to quit your career? What if you worked hard to get here — and you want to stay? In Episode 67 of The Her Resources Podcast, host Linda welcomes Elisha Meek, corporate leader, author, and burnout recovery strategist, to unpack what burnout really is — and how ambitious women can reclaim control without burning their lives to the ground. After spending nearly two decades climbing the corporate ladder and hitting burnout hard, Elisha developed her powerful Brain–Body–Soul framework to help high-performing women: • Stop attaching emotion to every setback • Release hustle guilt • Reclaim personal identity outside of work • Redefine success without shrinking ambition • Build purpose and passion alongside their careers This is not fluffy self-care. This is a mindset reset. If you’re ambitious, accomplished, and quietly holding it all together — press play. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – The moment Elisha realized she didn’t control her future 02:10 – Why burnout advice feels shallow 03:04 – Burnout vs. being tired: what’s the difference? 10:07 – The ambition + burnout trap 12:27 – The promotion that changed everything 16:31 – Why quitting your job doesn’t fix burnout 20:07 – Burnout 2.0: bringing bad habits to a new job 22:19 – Introducing “Break Up With Burnout” 23:44 – The Brain–Body–Soul framework 30:38 – What women get wrong about fixing burnout 33:09 – Subtle early signs you’re burning out 40:12 – Letting go of hustle guilt 45:50 – Why burnout is NOT the price of success 53:44 – One action you can take this week 56:51 – How to rebuild control without quitting Connect with Elisha Meek: Website: https://elishameek.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elishameek/ Connect with The Her Resources Podcast: Website: https://herresourcespodcast.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herresourcespodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@her.resources.pod YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HerResourcesPodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/her-resources-podcast/?viewAsMember=true Linktree: https://linktr.ee/hrpodcast Email: info@herresourcespodcast.com
