Description

Think burnout means you’re weak?
...

Think again. Burnout doesn’t come from fragility—it comes from being too strong for too long without rest.

...

In this solo episode, Marie pulls back the curtain on a year where 100% of women in her audience reported feeling burned out—and why that wake-up call changed the way she now approaches leadership, self-care, and boundaries. From juggling a major course launch and intense demands at work to navigating grief, heartbreak, and healing, this is a raw, real conversation about what it actually takes to lead without losing yourself.

...

Theme: Ambition Without Burnout
...We’re talking guilt around rest, redefining success, and learning to advocate for your wellbeing without apology.
