Description

What happens when the drive that makes you great becomes the force that brings you undone?

Life coach, bestselling author and keynote speaker Shannah Kennedy joins me, Di Gillett on the Power Of Women Podcast to explore the thin line between ambition and burnout, and why recovery, identity and self-awareness are now critical skills for high-performing women.

From managing elite athletes to living at full throttle, Shannah’s story is a reminder that setbacks can be the start of your greatest comeback. If you’re willing to do the inner work.


In this episode, you’ll hear:

Why “Who are you without your job?” is the most confronting (and necessary) question you can ask.

How to rebuild your identity beyond titles and achievements.

The difference between ambition and overachievement.

Why women in midlife face “the perfect storm” — and how to plan your way through it.

Daily rituals for resilience: mindfulness, breathwork and boundaries.
