Podcasts about high achievers

 At the end of 2023, there was this phrase I kept hearing in my head on repeat. "It doesn't feel safe to slow down."I'd end my days feeling completely depleted mentally, physically, and emotionally. And yet I'd still push myself to do more. Sometimes it was work stuff, sometimes it was home stuff. But I had this constant, almost compulsive need to be doing something productive at all times. Rest felt elusive, like this thing other people could do, once they'd earned it. For me, rest basically just meant sleep. It was a quick reset so I could get up and do it all over again.Sound familiar?  Let's figure out how we can unlearn that habit.-----Episode Mentioned: 314. The 3 Small Habit Shifts That Changed My Energy, Focus, and CEO Mindset---Today's episode is brought to you by The Planner's Vault.

In this episode, Christina Lecuyer is pulling back the curtain on what high-achievers are really dealing with behind the scenes — even when life and business look wildly successful on paper. From decision fatigue and guilt, to burnout, team drama, and feeling disconnected from the life they've built, Christina unpacks the top struggles her clients face (that you probably do too).

Burnout is more than exhaustion—it's often a sign that we're clinging to outdated roles, habits, or expectations. Scott Anderson, a licensed mental health therapist and founder of Double Dare, views burnout as a form of “self-inflicted suffering” that can serve as a wake-up call for personal transformation. His work redefines success, urging individuals to listen to their internal signals rather than push harder through stress. Through tools like the Genius Zone framework and the R&R Technique, Scott helps high achievers realign with what truly matters. He guides clients in identifying the few tasks that create the greatest impact, while also addressing emotional blocks like perfectionism, guilt, and resentment. By combining strategic delegation with emotional clarity—especially the power of self-forgiveness—Scott enables people to reduce overwhelm and reconnect with meaning in their work and life. For anyone feeling burnt out, disengaged, or overwhelmed, Scott's book You're Not Toast offers a powerful, practical roadmap to recovery. It's designed for entrepreneurs, leaders, and professionals ready to reclaim control and restore clarity. Visit his website to learn more and access his proven burnout recovery resources.

In episode 308 of the Full Frontal Living Podcast, I'm joined by the brilliant and bold Callan Faulkner, AI coach and founder of The Uncommon Business, to talk about something that feels equal parts exciting and overwhelming for most of us: artificial intelligence.But don't worry—we're not talking robots and world domination.We're talking about how AI can be a surprisingly powerful mirror for your personal growth, your habits, your chaos... and ultimately, your power to choose how you show up.This episode is part soulful conversation, part practical strategy—and 100% about helping you see that technology doesn't replace your wisdom. It amplifies it. If you're willing to engage with intention. What We Get Into:AI as a Self-Reflection Tool: It's not about the tech—it's about how you use it. AI simply reflects back what you bring to it. If you're feeling scattered or unsure, guess what's going to show up in your prompts? Yep—more chaos.Why Questions Matter More Than Answers: Whether you're journaling, talking to a coach, or prompting a chatbot—the quality of your input always shapes the outcome. Callan and I riff on how to ask better questions so you get better results.Collapsing Time + Clarifying Chaos: We talk about how AI can help streamline your life—from meal planning to emotional processing—and why your real power lies in choosing what to act on (and what to let go of).Overcoming Overwhelm: Callan and I both share how AI can become another form of busy work if you're not careful. It's not about more ideas—it's about choosing what actually matters. Ready to Work Smarter AND Grow Deeper?Start by asking yourself: Where am I using my tools—and where are my tools using me? Because the real transformation isn't in the tech. It's in the way you choose to live your life. Let's Keep the Conversation Going:Loved this episode?

In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk unpacks the 10 biggest fitness myths that entrepreneurs, high performers, and busy professionals fall for time and time again, often at the expense of progress, energy, and long-term results. If you're constantly trying to "do more" but still not seeing the outcomes you want, this episode will challenge your thinking and give you a clearer, smarter approach to fitness that actually fits your life. What's Inside Why lifting heavy doesn't make you stiff or slow, it builds resilience and performance The truth about short workouts (and why duration matters less than quality) Why more cardio won't lead to more fat loss without strength and protein The lie of “starting once work slows down”, and why that day never comes How lack of sleep is silently killing your progress Why eating clean without awareness won't move the needle The hard truth: you can't outwork a bad diet Why skipping meals sabotages energy and output When to use protein shakes and why they're not a magic fix How recovery shapes progress just as much as training Why Listen? This episode is a reality check for driven individuals who want results without wasting time. Stop following broken strategies and start using proven principles that align with your lifestyle and goals.

You've got the planner. The tabs. The to-do lists. And you're still exhausted.What if the answer isn't doing more… but doing differently?This episode is for the high-achiever who feels like she's doing everything right—and yet still feels behind. If you're feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or secretly wondering if you're missing something deeper… this is your moment to pause and receive the wisdom you've been craving.

Send us a textEver feel like you're constantly working toward your goals but rarely stopping to acknowledge how far you've come? You're not alone.This episode dives deep into the often-overlooked practice of giving ourselves love and respect, particularly for high-achieving women. While we excel at identifying areas for improvement (which is likely why you're listening to self-development podcasts!), we frequently miss opportunities to celebrate our progress and acknowledge our efforts.The real magic happens when we balance our drive for growth with genuine self-appreciation. As Nandi reveals, the people operating at their highest level aren't those constantly criticizing themselves into excellence—they're those who genuinely love and respect themselves first. This love creates space for greater creativity, resilience, and authentic connection with others.Through personal stories about her 32nd birthday celebrations and thoughtful questions, Nandi invites you to reflect: Where have you been showing yourself love that you haven't acknowledged? What efforts deserve recognition, regardless of their outcomes? How might shifting from "I'm not enough yet" to "I'm doing well and getting better" transform your experience?Whether you're struggling with a setback or simply feeling like your efforts aren't yielding results fast enough, this episode offers a compassionate reminder that becoming someone you've never been before is challenging work—and you're doing that work beautifully.

Hello, friend, and welcome back to another episode of Tales from The Lane. I'm your host, Kate Kayaian—a former cellist, now writer, speaker, and coach for high performers who want their lives to feel as good on the inside as they look from the outside. In this episode, we're talking about something that rarely gets acknowledged in the world of high achievement: the hidden costs of excellence. Not because we're lowering the bar. Not because we're changing the goal. But because when you're committed to being the best, you deserve to make those trade-offs with clarity and intention—not by default. We'll explore real-life examples of world-class professionals (like Arianna Huffington) who hit a wall, and how they learned to succeed without self-sacrifice becoming the default setting. We'll also talk about how to navigate your own trade-offs more deliberately—and how to protect the things that matter most while staying on track toward the top of your game. If excellence is non-negotiable for you, but you want to pursue it without burning down the rest of your life, this episode is for you. If you've ever asked yourself, “Is this really worth it?”—this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: What we lose in the pursuit of excellence—and why it's so rarely talked about Real-life stories of high performers who chose health and wholeness over external achievement How to recognize burnout, disconnection, and over-identification with your work Tools to help you recalibrate your career for long-term, sustainable success Order Beyond Potential now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Bookshop.org.

In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host Ted engages with high-performance coach Adam Smith, who shares insights on personal development, the pursuit of potential, and the internal blocks that high achievers face. They discuss the importance of progress over perfection, the role of beliefs and standards in achieving success, and the necessity of stillness in a fast-paced world. Adam emphasizes that purpose is not something to be found but created through action and progress, and he highlights the common struggle of feeling 'not good enough' among men, particularly in high-pressure environments. TakeawaysThe pursuit of potential is a continuous journey.Progress equals happiness, not destination.Many men feel they are not good enough.Purpose is something we create, not find.The 'when and then' mentality hinders action.High achievers often struggle with internal blocks.Beliefs shape our actions and results.Discipline is key to high performance.Standards determine the quality of our work.Stillness allows for powerful action and reflection.

Ever stood at your own success party and talked people OUT of celebrating you? That's exactly what I did at my own book launch, paralyzed by a merciless inner critic that had me rewriting the same book SIX times over SEVEN years. In this raw and revealing episode, I pull back the curtain on my battle with self-criticism and share the exact moment I realized my inner critic (whom I named "Esmeralda") was sabotaging my leadership and creative voice. Even after coaching C-suite executives at Fortune 200 companies, that voice telling me "I'm not good enough" still tried to drown out my achievements. The journey to authentic leadership isn't about silencing your critic forever—it's about recognizing it and moving forward anyway. In this episode, we cover:Why your inner critic gets loudest right before your most important leadership moments, and the counterintuitive approach that turns down its volumeMy embarrassing confession about what I said to guests at my own book launch party (and how it reveals the sneaky way imposter feelings show up even after achieving success)The simple naming technique that instantly creates distance between you and your critical inner voiceHow trying to avoid criticism actually smothers your authentic leadership voice and creative expressionThe question I ask myself whenever self-doubt creeps in that instantly reconnects me with my leadership purpose and silences criticismConnect with me on LinkedIn or join my monthly newsletter for exclusive strategies that go beyond what we cover in the podcast—because your leadership journey matters, especially when your voice shakes.About the Leadership Presence podcastLeadership Presence | Mastering the Inner Work of Leadership is your guide to leading with less ego and more soul.

In this episode of the Chase Life Podcast, Rachel and David Godfrey reveal the deeper reasons high-performing women struggle with consistency in health, fitness, and life. It's not your calendar. It's not your to-do list. It's your identity.

Completion Addiction: Obsessing over getting things finished before you “deserve” to rest, eat, or live your life.

You'll also learn: Why your “flow state” might be bullsh*t How Rachel launched the ONYX app without burning out The one concept that separates A-players from overwhelmed overachievers Parenting, productivity, and finding the sweet spot between ambition and presence Why most people delay their goals in the name of being "smart"... and just end up stuck This episode is for the woman who's done with the excuses, the stress addiction, and the all-or-nothing mindset—and is ready to win across every area of life.

You'll walk away understanding that these feelings aren't a sign of ungratefulness or failure—they're your inner wisdom trying to redirect you toward a more aligned path. Whether you're experiencing full-blown burnout or just a nagging sense that something's missing, these insights will help you translate that discontent into meaningful action.

“Stop Negotiating With Yourself” What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't the world—but the deal you keep cutting with yourself? In this episode, I get real about the mindset gap between average and extraordinary. It's not about tactics or hacks—it's energy. The truth is, the most successful people I know are fueled by something different. They're in a bigger hurry. They bring a different intensity. They don't just react to life—they use it. Pain, doubt, rejection—it's all fuel. And if you're ready to go to the next level, it's time to stop letting life happen to you and start making it happen because of you. This is a wake-up call. Your energy is either lifting people or leaving them cold. Your pace is either moving the needle or stalling your dreams. The world doesn't reward the most prepared—it rewards the ones who show up with presence, urgency, and an unshakable belief in who they can become. You're not here to conform. You're here to compete—to fight for your future and prove yourself right. I'm challenging you today. Raise your standard. Compete harder. Delay gratification. Move faster. And for the love of God, stop negotiating with the greatest version of you. Because that version? They're waiting for you to finally act like the person you were born to be. Key Takeaways: Why energy—not strategy—is the real game changer How to use adversity as fuel, not an excuse The dangers of negotiating with yourself Why urgency and delayed gratification go hand in hand What it really means to be “unreasonable” in pursuit of greatness The one mindset shift that separates the average from the elite You weren't born to live a clearance-rack life. You were born to max out.

In this special listener Q&A episode, I'm answering your biggest questions about confidence—straight from real, high-achieving women just like you. From overcoming imposter syndrome to trusting yourself in big decisions, breaking free from people-pleasing, and building unshakable self-belief, we're tackling it all.
