It’s Time to Talk About Burnout: A Series for the Strong but Struggling
You’re strong. You always have been.
You hold it together at work, show up for your team, deliver under pressure, and push through even when you're running on empty.
But lately… The exhaustion feels heavier. The motivation is harder to find. And the spark that once fueled your leadership? It’s flickering.
You’re not broken. You’re burned out. And it’s time we talked about it.
Why This Series Exists
Burnout isn’t just about stress, it’s about sustained depletion. It’s the cost of carrying too much, for too long, without enough support, rest, or recognition. Here’s the hard truth: So many women leaders, especially high-performing, high-capacity ones, are suffering in silence. We’re praised for our resilience but punished (often silently) when we pause.
We’ve been told to "push through" and "be strong," but what we need is space to be real, and support to get well.
Welcome to: It’s Time to Talk About Burnout
This 10-week series is for the woman who’s always been the rock.
The leader who’s tired of holding everything together.
The one who smiles in meetings but cries in the car.
The one who’s wondering, quietly: How much longer can I keep going like this?
You’re not alone.
This space is for you.
