About this listen

Most high-achieving women don’t burn out because they’re incapable…
they burn out because they’ve been conditioned to ignore their human capacity.

Today’s episode is a look at what happens when you live beyond your limits for too long — the subtle, everyday ways your nervous system tries to warn you, and the clarity that emerges when you finally start honoring the margins built into your design.

Inside this conversation, we explore:

✔️ The neuroscience of capacity — how allostatic load affects your capacity and executive function
✔️ Five quiet signs you’re already beyond your limits, including irritability, rushing, emotional reactivity, feeling touched-out, and end-of-day procrastination
✔️ How your body communicates depletion, long before burnout becomes visible
✔️ How to begin honoring your actual limits so you stop burning energy you don’t realistically have

This isn’t about dimming your drive or lowering your standards.

It’s about aligning your ambition with your biology — so you can show up with more clarity, presence, patience, creativity, and peace.

If you’ve been operating on grit, overriding your cues, or believing that “being strong” means pretending you’re limitless, this episode will feel like honesty, relief, and a grounded path back to yourself.
