When Success Isn’t Enough: Healing from Burnout and Overworking
If you’ve ever felt like your worth is tied to your productivity, or that stress is just part of being successful, you’re not alone. In this post, we’ll explore why so many high-achieving women end up burnt out, the hidden core beliefs driving the cycle, and how to start creating a life that feels sustainable and fulfilling—not just impressive.
Does this sound like you?
You are successful on paper—driven, reliable, accomplished.
People admire how much you get done and how well you do it.
You are praised for how much you work and how much you’ve achieved. And that feels really good. But inside? You're exhausted.
You’ve built a life that runs on achievement, perfectionism, and pushing through.
Even when you want to slow down, you can’t figure out how.
You wonder what it would feel like to not prove your worth every day at work.
You fantasize about doing something different—maybe a new job, maybe just less of the current one—but feel stuck, guilty, or afraid.
There’s a quiet voice inside you that says,
“I don’t want to live like this forever.”
And yet, the idea of working less or letting go feels threatening.
Because somewhere along the way, work became the way you measure your value—your safety, your identity, your enoughness.
This is where our work begins.
I help high-achieving women disentangle their self-worth from their productivity.
Together, we look at the old core beliefs running the show—the ones that say rest is lazy, that success must come with stress, that your value is in what you achieve.
And we build something new.
A relationship with yourself that isn’t dependent on how much you do.
A life that’s full and balanced—not just busy.
If that sounds like what you’ve been craving but didn’t know how to ask for, we might be a good fit.
