Monday Muse #36 - The Hidden Burnout of High Performance: Why Self Improvement Isn't Working

If you're on a self-improvement journey but still battling burnout, self-doubt, or a restless mindset, this episode is for you. We’re talking growth mindset, inner peace, and nervous system regulation—not as strategies to master, but as invitations to stop performing and start listening.

You’ll hear why high performance often comes at the cost of presence, how our desire to fix ourselves actually delays healing, and how to tell when your soul is leading vs. your fear. I’ll also walk you through three powerful shifts to break the cycle of overachieving and drop into soul-led leadership.
