About this listen

You’re getting things done.

Your life looks full, productive, and “on track.”

And yet… something feels off.

You’re more irritable than you want to be.

Your brain feels foggy even when you sleep.

You’re exhausted — but slowing down feels impossible.

That’s the paradox of high-functioning burnout.

In this episode, I’m unpacking the quieter, easier-to-miss signs of burnout that show up not as collapse — but as competence, over-functioning, and pushing through.

We’ll talk about why ambitious moms often don’t realize they’re burned out until their nervous system forces a reckoning — and what actually helps before you hit that point.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • The subtle ways burnout hides behind productivity and capability
  • Why being “the strong one” can keep your nervous system stuck in survival mode
  • Seven signs your system is operating beyond capacity — even if life looks good
  • How high-functioning burnout affects your patience, focus, and emotional bandwidth
  • What helps you recover without stepping away from the life you’ve built

If you’ve ever wondered why success feels heavier than it should — or why rest doesn’t fully touch the exhaustion — this conversation will help you connect the dots.

You don’t need to wait until you fall apart to take your nervous system seriously.
