Back to Episodes[S5, Ep45] The Hidden Factor Behind Female Founder Burnout (It’s Not What You Think) with CEO Angela Johnson
Description
I'll be honest, this episode is deeply personal for me.
In 2024 I went through a period where I genuinely couldn't figure out what was happening to my body. Memory fog. Digestion issues. No sleep. Some days it was hard to work because my eyeballs hurt. Literally. And I kept pushing through because that's what we do — until I couldn't anymore.
And we get into all of that and more in this episode with Angela Johnson, CEO of sanoLiving, a women's digital health platform reimagining midlife care for female leaders.
If you're waking up at 3am these days, you're going to want to hear this one (and I'll venture that you're going to want a coffee to go with it too! ☕)
✨ Episode Highlights
🧬 Why your hormones might be quietly sabotaging your business
💰 The real wealth impact of perimenopause on female founders, including the data that shows women are leaving the workforce at 44 while men don't hit the same point until 55, and what that means for our net worth
👑 How Angela leads a rapidly growing organization with an inverted triangle model — putting the people closest to the customer at the top and herself at the bottom
💬 Why the 'shame can't live when we share', and why this is the conversation women need to be having out loud
It is not okay that you feel shitty. If you don't feel right and you know something is wrong, keep looking until you find someone who says — I believe you and I'm listening. No one knows your body better than you do.
