Feeling like you're running on empty, no matter how hard you try to have it all together? Fresh from an inspiring BOLD retreat in Asheville, NC, today I'll share the real reason high-achieving women like us keep slipping back into burnout, even after we swear we've got it handled. It's not about willpower or your to-do list. Burnout is actually a biological loop that our bodies get stuck in, especially when the pace never seems to let up. I'll walk you through the hidden mental loads we carry and why recovery needs to be built into our rhythm, not just crammed in when we're desperate for a break. You'll hear my top three strategies for breaking free from the burnout cycle and creating a life with energy, joy, and true freedom. This episode is your invitation to a new chapter, to make room for brilliance—and finally normalize rest, reclaim your rhythm, and enjoy what you're working so hard to build! Show Highlights: Healing with BOLD coaching group retreats. [00:51] Understand the pattern of the burnout backslide. [01:21] How burnout is biological, not a weakness.

Gratitude journals. Green juices. Meditation apps. We've been taught happiness is a checklist, but what if that's only half the story?In this episode, we dive into the world of Positive Psychology and the concept of flourishing– living deeply, not just lightly. We explore the PERMA‑H model (Positive Emotion • Engagement • Relationships • Meaning • Accomplishment • Health) and what it really means to feel alive even when life isn't easy. If you've done all the “right” self‑care things and still feel off… you're not failing. You're human. And this episode is your gentle invitation to stop chasing happiness and start tending what matters. What You'll Discover:Why happiness as a finish line keeps us stuckHow the PERMA‑H model gives us a fuller picture of wellbeingHow cultural expectations twist engagement, achievement, health & moreA simple journaling exercise to map where you're full and where you need spaceWhy flourishing is rhythmic – not balanced or perfect “Flourishing is the whole spectrum – light and dark, joy and grief, purpose and pause. And learning to hold all of it – that's what it really means to be alive.”
Have you ever been so caught up chasing the next goal that you forgot to actually live the one you prayed for? What if your real breakthrough isn't in the arrival — but in who you're becoming along the way? In a world that glorifies hustle culture, high achievers are praised for their grind but rarely for their growth. And let's be real — self-care sounds cute until you're staring burnout in the face. This episode is your permission slip to pause, breathe, and fall back in love with your process. Because the truth is, your worth doesn't wait at the finish line — it's built in every messy, beautiful step along the way. You'll uncover why “arrival mentality” keeps high achievers stuck in a constant chase for the next milestone. You'll learn to reframe success as a journey of becoming, not just achieving — so you can finally find peace in your pace. You'll walk away with practical ways to romanticize the grind, celebrate your micro wins, and build self-trust through presence and gratitude.

We're living in the age of the Reset. Klaus Schwabb calls it the "Great Reset". But were not talking about Klaus Schwabb or his quote that you will "own nothing and like it". Although some of the following are great things to try, we're also not talking about a reset by cold plunges, breathwork, ice baths. red light therapy or gratitude journaling, either. We're talking about the one “reset” that's actually changing lives, quitting alcohol. In this episode, Shane dives into why so many high-performing men, business owners, leaders, and entrepreneurs, are walking away from the “work hard, play hard” lifestyle and choosing clarity, peace, and purpose instead. You'll hear why Reset Culture is more than just a trend, it's a movement of men who are tired of feeling burned out, anxious, and disconnected… and ready to build a new kind of success story that doesn't come with a hangover. Expect truth, humor, and a few gut punches along the way. (And probably a joke or two about how we used to think tequila was self-care.)

Pushing harder isn't working. Despite your best efforts, you're still stuck in the same patterns: starting strong then quitting, living in extremes, or running yourself into the ground. If you've ever waited for the "perfect time" to start something, thrown in the towel after one slip-up, or pushed yourself to exhaustion because "that's just what it takes,” this episode is for you. The belief that more effort equals better results keeps you trapped in cycles that leave you exhausted and frustrated. Most high achievers live by this belief, nodding knowingly when they hear it out loud, yet continuing to grind away hoping things will finally fall into place. Listen in this week to hear the three biggest traps that are currently keeping you stuck. You'll learn how each trap operates differently, and you'll gain practical tools to recognize these patterns and choose different ways of thinking that actually move you forward instead of keeping you spinning in the same exhausting loops.

What if your "stress" isn't one big mess, but three distinct types of challenges that require entirely different solutions?In this episode of Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors, host Erica Rooney sits down with Allison Graham, a leading voice on strategic resilience, and author of books like Take Back Your Weekends. Driven by her own journey through chronic pain and adversity, Allison offers a science-backed framework to help high-achievers stop sacrificing their sanity and manage challenges more efficiently.Join them as they dissect the "tangled up stress mess" we all live in and learn how to separate Adversities (life-changing issues), Obstacles (repeat problems), and the endless Task Circle (the to-do list) so you can regain control and dramatically reduce unnecessary stress.Inside the Episode:The Triple Resilience Model: Allison's revolutionary framework for separating your challenges:Adversities: Catastrophic life events that require survival stress (and self-compassion).Obstacles: Repeating moments of angst that you are paid to solve (requiring problem-solving).Tasks: The endless to-do list that needs zero emotional contribution.The "Task Circle" Trap: Why expecting to ever close the loop on your to-do list is a fantasy that drains your capacity and steals your happiness.Stop the Spiral: How to use the "better word game" to neutralize your language (e.g., swapping "awful" for "mildly irritating") and reverse-engineer the emotional swirl of destructive stress.The X Then Y Fallacy: Why putting off happiness until after you get caught up or after the chaos subsides is a recipe for perpetual unhappiness.Taking Back Your Weekends: The biggest mistake high-achievers make—allowing others to control their schedule—and simple, strategic boundaries to reclaim your time.Awareness Over Judgment: Why approaching your bad habits with compassionate curiosity (e.g., "Hmm, that's interesting that I did that again") is key to creating lasting change.If you're ready to stop the overwhelm and start approaching your life with strategic calm, this episode is your essential guide to building real, practical resilience.

Ever wondered why so many successful people — the business owners, the leaders, the parents juggling it all — can't seem to nail their health and fitness goals?In this episode, Ian breaks down why being driven, ambitious, and successful in one area of life doesn't automatically translate into success with your body and fitness.

It's a realist take on how to build fitness that fits — without burning out or trying to outwork your own schedule.Why “how you do one thing is how you do everything” is a mythThe all-or-nothing mindset that kills your progressWhy trying to fit your life around your workouts doesn't workHow high performers self-sabotage when they're not instantly good at somethingThe problem with rushing your fitness journey (and what to do instead)How to start building fitness that fits your real life, not your ideal oneRun a business and a householdFeel like you're constantly “on” and can't slow downWant to get in shape without adding more chaos to your lifeAre tired of feeling like the only thing you can't master is your own bodyIf this episode hit home, and you're ready to stop forcing fitness into your life and start building fitness that fits — you can work with Ian 1:1.
Science now links alcohol to seven types of cancer, brain shrinkage, hormonal chaos, and accelerated aging. Even one drink per night can destroy gray and white matter, sabotage detoxification, and cost high achievers hundreds of thousands in lost productivity.

He also shares real stories of clients who reversed health complications, saved marriages, and dramatically increased their income after going alcohol-free. We explore how alcohol affects entrepreneurs and executives, why it blocks fat metabolism and hormone regulation, and practical strategies to quit without willpower, AA, or feeling deprived.

We often talk about the weight of failure—but not the weight of praise. Sometimes, the very things we're celebrated for become the ghosts that follow us. We get known for what we once did well, and slowly, excellence becomes a performance rather than a joy.In this episode, I explore three emotional seasons every high-achiever eventually faces:Haunted by Achievement: When past success becomes a cage.The Quiet Rebellion of Enough: When saying no becomes an act of integrity.The Season of Letting Go: When release becomes the most honest form of growth.“Enough isn't mediocrity. It's a moral stance.” “Letting go isn't quitting. It's the beginning of honesty.”For those of us working inside systems that worship more, these aren't just reflections—they're survival skills.CLICK HERE for the Reflection Guide to help you pause, process, and shift.https://theacclivity.com/SeasonOfLettingGo_ReflectionGuidePrompt for reflection:What version of yourself are you still performing for?

Robert Glazer collapsed in his kitchen in front of his son, convinced he was having a heart attack. In reality, it was a massive panic attack triggered by grinding too hard while starting a business, building a house, raising kids, and weathering the 2008 recession. That wake-up call forced him to reevaluate everything: his health, his leadership, and the values that guided his life. In this episode, Robert returns to the show to share how childhood struggles shaped his values, why passion is developed, not discovered, and how to know if you're climbing the wrong mountain in life. He also reveals the frameworks from his new book to help you align your career, relationships, and purpose with your deepest values.

“Leisure has meaning when it's in tension with effort, when it's in tension with something that asks more of us than pure relaxation or fun or just even lighthearted stimulation.” - Elizabeth Parsons In this episode of The People Dividend Podcast, host Mike Horne sits down with Elizabeth Zelenka Parsons, a retirement transition expert and author of Encore: A High Achiever's Guide to Thriving in Retirement. Together, they explore how high achievers can find fulfillment, purpose, and meaning beyond financial success as they transition into retirement. Elizabeth challenges the traditional view of retirement as “the end” of productivity, reframing it as a new chapter of growth and contribution. She explains why redefining success, planning in decades, and building strong relationships are essential for a thriving post-career life. Whether you're years away from retirement or already planning your next act, this episode will inspire you to approach the future with curiosity, purpose, and balance. Key Points: Redefine success: Learn how high achievers can shift from accomplishment-driven goals to purpose-driven living. Start early: Plan for retirement in 10-year increments to build a more intentional and fulfilling future. Look beyond money: True fulfillment comes from relationships, community, and meaningful engagement—not just financial security.

Are you someone who's always found yourself in the high-achiever camp - ticking boxes, reaching goals, maybe being a little harder on yourself than you'd ever admit? If so, this episode is especially for you. I'm revealing some home truths about what it really means to be a high achiever in business, warts and all. We're talking about why your strongest traits might be both your greatest strengths and the sneaky culprits slowing your progress. In today's episode, I'm sharing honest stories from my own journey - moments where my high-achieving mindset helped me break through and times when it actually held me back. If you've ever found yourself frustrated, watching others “fly ahead” while you're quietly wondering, “Why am I not further along by now?” then stick around. I promise, you're not alone, and there's a good reason behind it. Here's a taste of what I chat about in this episode: Why do some of our top strengths turn into our biggest obstacles in entrepreneurship? (And what can we do about it?) What are the classic “toxic traits” high achievers need to watch out for - like thinking, “I already know this,” or refusing to ask for help? How can you spot when your drive and capability are actually holding you back, especially when it comes to letting go and getting support in your business? Why is it so vital to check if your business foundations are strong enough for the next level (or are you still building on “one-storey” foundations when you want a “five-storey” business)? How can a mastermind or strategic community help you finally move past those hidden roadblocks - even if you've “done this before?” Curious which of these high-achievers' self-sabotaging habits you might be living into, and how you can flip them into true superpowers? Grab your coffee, put your feet up, and let's have a real conversation about what makes success sustainable and fun.

For many high achievers, outward success often doesn't lead to true fulfillment, especially when decision-making isn't guided by a strong sense of purpose.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Aanya explores how high performers can stop guessing about their health and start listening with precision. Guest Tata Rarin—the “world's only health detective”—blends engineering logic, energy work, and bioenergetic testing to translate body signals into clear action. We cover practical self-awareness tools (Vipassana basics, body scanning, breath focus, single-word anchors like “knowing”), how to use data without losing intuition, and why self-awareness is a performance tool—not a soft skill. If you're chasing goals and flirting with burnout, this episode shows how to turn awareness into a measurable advantage. About the Guest : Tata Rarin helps founders and high achievers decode health and performance by combining bioenergetic testing, digital muscle testing, and mindfulness practices (including 12+ years of Vipassana). Her approach turns subtle body cues into decisions that improve sleep, stress, focus, and strategic execution. Key Takeaways: Self-awareness is a performance lever—it improves choices, negotiations, and recovery, reducing avoidable mistakes. Start simple: choose a single anchor word (e.g., “knowing”), repeat for 10–20 seconds to re-center during busy days. Use breath awareness (anapanasati) and brief body scans to detect early signs of imbalance before they escalate. For beginners, body sensations are easier to observe than thoughts; build the skill daily in short reps. Pair metrics (sleep, HRV, activity trackers) with felt experience; numbers reveal blind spots high achievers often miss. Morning routine tip: listen to a short, positive audio before messages or meetings to set focus and reduce reactivity. Continuous observation creates choice under pressure—notice bias, adjust state, then act. Awareness practices support business outcomes: clearer thinking, fewer errors, better energy allocation. Reframe “listening” from passive to strategic—it's how you prevent burnout and sustain output. Build the habit: small, daily reps (>21 days) make self-awareness automatic in high-stakes moments.

The Breakdown Moment: How High Achievers Miss the Warning Signs Do you know the signs that indicate you're near a breakdown moment? For high achievers, it's rarely obvious. We don't see it coming because we're so used to pushing through. We normalize the stress, telling ourselves it's just this project or it's just a busy season. Or we believe that the next promotion, the next job, or the next vacation will finally make it better. But here's the warning most people miss: If you're in misalignment or you're making changes that don't solve the root cause, it's not a matter of if you'll hit the breakdown moment, it's a matter of when. The problem for so many high-achieving leaders is the quiet normalization of exhaustion & the belief that pushing through will eventually pay off. But when you're in chronic misalignment, burnout at work isn't temporary — it's inevitable. In this episode, I share my own story of hitting breakdown three times in my career. Then my coach asked me the question that changed everything: "Blake, why are you willing to sacrifice your health and your life for a company that isn't willing to give you what you need?" That question changed everything.

In this episode of Retirement Planning Simplified, Joe Curry talks with Elizabeth Zelinka Parsons, retirement transition expert and author of Encore: A High Achiever's Guide to Thriving in Retirement.

When we spend our lives hiding the parts of ourselves we fear others will reject, we unintentionally reject ourselves first. In this episode, I explore how the stories you've tried to bury — the ones you're convinced make you unworthy — can actually become the most powerful catalysts for your freedom, fulfillment, and authentic self-expression. I share my own journey of carrying shame through my affair, abusive marriage, and divorce, and how living in secrecy only deepened my disconnection from myself. I want you to know: the very pieces you've worked so hard to conceal might be the keys to your wholeness and to leading, loving, and living with your full voice. What we explore: Why shame feeds on secrecy and how to stop letting it silence you. The hidden cost of performing instead of living authentically. How to reframe shame as a source of empathy, resilience, and insight. Three steps to transform your story from a source of fear to a source of strength. The magnetic power of vulnerability and the liberation of speaking your truth. If you've been considering joining this year's cohort of Levin Life Coach Academy, the doors are open until midnight tonight. This is your chance to say yes to yourself and the life that's been calling you from beneath the weight of shame. Visit nancylevin.com/yes to join us.

"The single most important investment you can make right now is to invest in growing your capacity to be with fear."In this powerful conversation, nervous system practitioner Felix Wittmann joins host Jo to explore the hidden trap that high-achieving women often fall into: functional freeze.

What if your mind needed feng shui as much as your home? In this direct conversation on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Patrick Francey—entrepreneur, coach, and host of The Everyday Millionaire—breaks down Mind Shui, a practical framework for clearing mental clutter, collapsing hidden beliefs (“not enough,” “not worthy”), and aligning values so execution becomes inevitable. We dig into why clarity = velocity, how misaligned values stall income and impact, and why inner work isn't fluff—it's the operating system for results, relationships, and resilience. If you've got strategy but still feel stuck, this episode gives you a clean, repeatable way to create flow in your thinking, your business, and your life. Guest links are below. About the guest : Patrick Francey is a leading Canadian voice in investing and entrepreneurship, longtime CEO of the Real Estate Investment Network, and host of The Everyday Millionaire. He and his wife, Stephanie (an Olympic-class mental performance coach), co-created Mind Shui to help leaders dismantle mental clutter and act with clarity. Key takeaways : Mind Shui ≠ mindset clichés: It's a structured way to remove cognitive “furniture” blocking flow—old stories, assumptions, and automatic reactions that slow execution. Clarity drives speed: “Clarity = velocity.” When thinking is decluttered, prioritization and action accelerate without extra willpower or hacks. Collapse hidden beliefs: Two common blockers—“I'm not enough” and “I'm not worthy”—surface across all levels, from new founders to multimillionaires. Naming → examining → releasing. Values must align with goals: If money isn't a true value, you'll unconsciously avoid building it—even while claiming you want financial growth. Align money to family, health, and contribution. Live your values, not inherited ones: Many chase degrees/careers scripted by others. Integrity is keeping promises to yourself; misalignment breeds friction and fatigue. Inner work isn't a distraction: It improves confidence, communication, and relationships—outcomes that compound business results rather than compete with them. Normalize “what's next” after wins: Prepare for the “other side of the medal.” Goals are milestones; identity and purpose sustain momentum. Language reveals belief systems: Your words expose your BS (belief systems). Curiosity plus coaching helps you spot and clear them faster.

In this conversation, Mardi Winder-Adams welcomes Kate Kripke, a licensed clinical social worker and PMH-C, to talk about what it's really like for high-achieving moms who find themselves facing divorce while trying to keep everything else on track. Kate speaks from both professional expertise and personal experience, sharing how her own upbringing, her parents' divorce, and her struggles with anxiety and post-partum challenges shaped her commitment to supporting mothers and families navigating big transitions.Kate sheds light on the silent pressure so many women feel to perform as the best mom, partner, employee, and more. She points out how this constant push can make it hard for women to slow down, check in with their own feelings, and actually allow space for emotion, particularly during a divorce. Rather than focusing solely on “doing,” Kate encourages moms to pay attention to “how” they're experiencing emotions, something she's learned makes all the difference in both adult and child mental health.Mardi and Kate talk about how moms often fear their children's difficult emotions during divorce, wanting to protect them from sadness or anger. Kate reassures listeners that it's not only normal for kids to feel upset, but that moving through those feelings is vital. She emphasizes that being steady and supportive, even if you don't have all the answers, helps kids build resilience and feel secure through change. She also challenges the idea of labeling a marriage as “failed,” highlighting that sometimes relationships simply run their course, and it doesn't need to be seen as a disaster.Throughout the episode, Kate shares practical thoughts on how parents can create small moments of connection and security, even when families are splitting time between homes. She reminds listeners that kids don't need perfection, but rather a steady presence who's willing to listen and be real. To support moms further, Kate offers her “Calm Mama Reset,” a 21-day guide full of realistic, bite-sized strategies for anyone looking to regain some calm and steadiness during stressful times. About the Guest:Kate Kripke, LCSW, PMH-C, helps high-achieving women break free from emotional overwhelm, guilt, and burnout in motherhood. As a maternal mental health expert and transformative coach, she guides mothers in shifting old patterns, regulating their emotions, and reconnecting with their intuition—so they can feel calm, confident, and in control while balancing both career and motherhood. Kate believes that thriving as a mother doesn't mean sacrificing personal success, and she equips women with the tools to build deep, lasting connections with their children while continuing to pursue their passions.For Kate's gift: https://itlist.co/i/3453/the-calm-mama-reset-21-day-interactive-wellness-challengeTo connect with Kate: Website: https://www.katekripke.com/ IG @katekripke, https://www.instagram.com/katekripke/ About the Host: Mardi Winder-Adams is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach, Certified Divorce Transition Coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) and a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator in Texas.
