    Ep. 15 - Why So Many High-Achieving Women Leave Corporate in Their 40s with Elena Shirokaya

    Burnout doesn’t always look like collapse. Sometimes it looks like success — with no capacity left. In this episode, Brooke Koeninger talks with leadership psychologist Elena Shirokaya about why so many high achievers stay stuck in exhaustion even after leaving corporate, changing roles, or “doing all the right things.” They explore: Why burnout is often misdiagnosed or normalized How the nervous system drives leadership behavior What “performing calm” actually costs us Why rest can feel unsafe for high performers How leaders unknowingly pass stress down to their teams and families If you’ve ever thought: “I should be happy — so why do I still feel like this?” This episode is for you.
