Worn Out and Over It Journey to a Life That Fits with Jesseca Tighe | 030
Manage episode 505554279 series 3617107
She had the PhD, the healthcare leadership job, and the burnout badge of honor. Then COVID and E. coli said, “Sit down.” So she did – and stood up for her life.
Before she became a burnout coach and psychology-whisperer to high achievers, Jesseca Tighe was a therapist-turned-healthcare exec just trying to keep it all together. She had the title, the inbox, and the never-ending calls at all hours.
But the truth? She was one exhale away from collapse.
Then the curveballs came in fast – first COVID, then E. coli, then back-to-back losses that left her physically wrecked and emotionally cracked open. But it was in that wreckage – jobless, speechless, and horizontal on the couch – that Jesseca decided to finally listen to her body and rebuild from scratch.
Today, she helps other overworked, under-nurtured women trade burnout for boundaries, and reconnect with the lives they almost forgot they wanted.

“Burnout doesn’t always blow up your life – it seeps in like water under a door.”
