Signs You’re Burning Out While Saying “I’m Fine”
Manage episode 508591468 series 3642702
This episode launches the Sacred Interruption series with Stage 1: The Performance Era—the deceptive stage where high-achieving women appear successful on the outside while systematically burning out on the inside.
We unpack how the performance era operates as an unconscious cycle of perfectionism and relentless striving, where exhaustion becomes normalized as "the price of success." This is where burnout begins: late nights bleeding into early mornings, endless client work that never feels "enough," skipped meals justified as productivity, and the persistent "I'm fine" mask that becomes harder to remove each day.
In this foundational episode of the 5-part burnout recovery series, you'll discover the subtle red flags of early-stage burnout that are dangerously easy to dismiss, the psychological patterns that keep high-achievers trapped in performance mode, and why self-awareness becomes your first line of defense against complete collapse.
If you've ever wondered why success feels so exhausting, or if you recognize yourself in the cycle of achieving more while feeling progressively emptier, this episode serves as both wake-up call and roadmap. Johanna emphasizes the critical shift from performing your life to actually living it, introducing sustainable approaches to success that prioritize mental and emotional well-being alongside professional achievement.
This is essential listening for anyone ready to question whether their current definition of success is actually serving them, or slowly destroying them.
