Description

You pride yourself on being reliable, capable, and indispensable. But what if the very trait that built your career is now sabotaging your success?

For the next few episodes, I will be talking with you about taking a deeper dive in understanding burnout from a perspective I personally don’t hear enough of: the psychosocial drivers of burnout – what we as individuals bring to it, how social conditioning perpetuates it, and how organizational culture impacts it – and what we can do about it. 

In this episode, we're talking about the yes addiction - why saying no feels impossible for high achievers, and what it's actually costing you.
