74. Why High-Performing Women Burn Out
Description
High-performing women don’t burn out because they’re weak. They burn out because they over-function.
Many women leaders who rise quickly in their careers do so because they’re reliable, prepared, emotionally responsible, and incredibly capable of stabilizing the environments around them. That energy gets rewarded early on. But at senior levels, the leadership game changes. What made you successful early in your career can quietly become the thing that exhausts you.
Tune in this week as I break down why burnout happens at senior levels and why simply working harder won’t solve it. You’ll also hear three leadership shifts that allow women to advance without burning out. These are not soft self-care ideas. They are strategic capabilities that allow you to move from over-functioning to leading with authority.
