In this compelling episode of Women Who Work From Home, host Michelle Rivera sits down with Jo, a former executive who shares her raw journey from corporate burnout to discovering authentic work-life alignment. After checking all the traditional success boxes—executive role, beautiful home, family life—Jo found herself in the hospital, mistaking burnout for an autoimmune disease. This wake-up call led to profound insights about the "Triple P Trifecta" of self-sabotage: perfectionism, procrastination, and people-pleasing.

Through candid discussion, Jo reveals how women's natural "diffuse awareness" impacts their work-from-home experience and why traditional productivity advice often fails them. She challenges listeners to redefine success on their own terms, offering practical strategies for setting boundaries and prioritizing rest alongside achievement. This episode is essential listening for any woman feeling trapped in the "having it all" treadmill while working from home.

Key topics include:

• Recognizing and breaking free from burnout


• Managing work-from-home boundaries as a parent


• Understanding female-specific productivity patterns


• Transforming self-sabotaging behaviors


• Building sustainable success without sacrifice
