• 482: High-Functioning Burnout Exposed: Relationship Resentment

  Why does resentment creep into the relationships of ambitious women - especially when you feel like you’re “doing it all”? In Part 4 of our 5-Part High-Functioning Burnout Exposed series with Awaken the Muse, Natalie, Alexi Panos and Emily Gallagher unpack how unspoken needs, over-functioning, and self-betrayal quietly erode intimacy + how to rebuild connection without abandoning your drive. You’ll learn a clearer frame for reverse polarity (respect vs. cherish), how to shift from blame to vulnerable truth, and a simple reset that restores your sense of power and wholeness in a relationship. You’ll leave with tools to read your nervous system, name the desire under the complaint, and create more safety, softness, and spark - without carrying all the emotional load.

• 481: High-Functioning Burnout Exposed: The Perpetual Chase

  Why does “one more launch… one more zero… one more goal” never feel like enough? In Part 3 of our 5-part High-Functioning Burnout Exposed series with Awaken the Muse, we’re exploring the perpetual chase - that constant striving for more, even when you’ve already achieved so much. This episode unpacks why accomplishment rarely brings the fulfillment we expect, how cultural conditioning keeps women tying their worth to output, and what it really takes to feel satisfied now instead of always chasing the next milestone. Walk away with a sturdier definition of “enough,” a simple way to expand your capacity without overloading your plate, and a journal prompt that helps you create from abundance, not scarcity. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 The treadmill of “more”: why achievement never feels like enough 02:33 The warning signs of draining energy and constant mental load 07:10 Craving more things vs. craving more of yourself 08:42 Why rest, play, and pleasure are actually productive 10:31 Breaking the self-sacrificing blueprint so many women inherit 12:39 The impossible standards that keep women stuck in exhaustion 16:40 Living a big life from enoughness (and why capacity grows with safety) 23:16 Why growth doesn’t stop, but the fuel behind it must change 25:26 A journal practice to end the chase and start living now RESOURCES + LINKS Click Here To Join Soft Success: A Free Masterclass Experience To End High-Functioning Burnout And Redefine Success On Your Terms.

• 480: High-Functioning Burnout Exposed: When Sleep isn't Really the Solution

  Why do so many high-achieving women do all the right things - get 8 hours of sleep, take the supplements, follow the routines - yet still wake up exhausted? In the first episode of this series, we unpacked the overwhelm loop. In Part 2 of our 5-part High-Functioning Burnout Exposed series with Awaken the Muse, Natalie, Alexi Panos and Emily Gallagher dive into energy, vitality and why sleep isn’t solving what’s actually nervous-system and emotional-load related. You’ll hear why healthy habits alone can’t create true vitality, how to reconnect with the signals your body is sending, and the exact reflection that reveals where your energy is leaking: What are you avoiding or pretending not to know? After listening to this episode, you will walk away with simple regulation tools, a new way to understand your body’s needs, and a gentler path to real, sustainable energy. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Doing all the things… and still running on empty 01:18 Vitality vs. cortisol: a new definition of energy 04:33 Burnout as initiation (when old tricks stop working) 08:03 Rebuilding self-trust: listening to your body first 12:16 Looks vs. feels: caring for your body from the inside 14:18 Feeling the unfelt (grief, numbness, stored emotions) 16:48 The diagnostic question: What are you avoiding/pretending not to know? 24:07 The true cost of not looking (energy, love, creativity) 29:14 A one-week practice to reveal what you’re avoiding RESOURCES + LINKS Click Here To Join Soft Success: A Free Live Masterclass Experience Taking Place On September 24th To End High-Functioning Burnout And Redefine Success On Your Terms.

• 479: High-Functioning Burnout Exposed: The Overwhelm Loop

  Why is it that the very habits that drive ambitious women to succeed - the hustle, the long hours, the “I can do it all” mindset - are often the same ones that lead to burnout, anxiety, and resentment? In the first episode of our 5-part series with Awaken the Muse - Natalie, Alexi Panos and Emily Gallagher pull back the curtain on what they call the overwhelm loop - the cycle of urgency, overcommitment, and dysregulation that so many high-achieving women mistake for normal. Together, they share raw stories of postpartum identity shifts, hidden resentment in relationships, and the nervous system patterns that keep us chasing more even when we already feel depleted. You’ll learn what “functional freeze” actually looks like, why capacity can be a mask for self-abandonment, and the micro-practices that help you exhale, reset, and build a more sustainable kind of success. If you’ve ever felt like slowing down means falling behind, this episode will prove the opposite - that nervous system regulation is the real key to growth, profit, and fulfillment. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 The hidden cost of high-functioning burnout 01:26 From biohacking to balance: how hormones tell the truth before we do 03:35 The LA hustle spell and the pressure to “stay relevant” 05:24 Postpartum wake-up calls: splitting yourself between business and baby 08:49 The identity crisis no one talks about after becoming a mother 11:27 Why your nervous system equates chaos with safety 15:10 How relaxing (not pushing harder) actually expands capacity 16:40 Soft CEO era vs. hustle culture: finding a middle ground 25:36 Functional freeze explained and why high achievers miss the signs 33:37 Resentment as a red flag for self-abandonment 38:23 Simple regulation tools you can use in under a minute 41:34 The myth that transformation has to be hard, and what actually works RESOURCES + LINKS Click Here To Join Soft Success: A Free Masterclass Experience Taking Place On September 24th To End High-Functioning Burnout And Redefine Success On Your Terms.
