Back to EpisodesWhispers, Shouts, or Full Punch in the Face. Which One Are You Ignoring? (Vault)
Description
Your body speaks in whispers, shouts, and sometimes punches to the face when you ignore its needs. Women are particularly susceptible to burnout due to perfectionism, people-pleasing, and putting everyone else first.
• The whispers of burnout include trouble sleeping, brain fog, headaches, and constant tension
• Shouts escalate to anxiety, adrenaline surges, digestive problems, and emotional fragility
• Punches in the face are serious health crises like cancer, autoimmune conditions, or complete collapse
• High-achieving women are vulnerable due to perfectionism and an inability to rest
• Changing your environment without changing your mindset means burnout will follow you
• The missing ingredient is addressing emotional and mental patterns, not just physical symptoms
• Your body needs more than temporary relief—it needs a fundamental shift in how you treat yourself
Take a moment right now. Close your eyes and ask your body what it needs from you today.
The Balance & Beyond Podcast Hosted by Jo Stone, founder of The Balance Institute
For women who are already succeeding, but beginning to wonder if they're willing to keep losing themselves in the process.
We know high achievers, because we are one. This podcast draws on Jo's 20 years in global leadership and thousands of hours coaching executives and ambitious women: the patterns she sees, how to untangle them, and what it actually takes to keep your success without paying for it with yourself.
If something landed today, there's more where that came from.
And if you know a woman this would resonate with, send it her way.
