  204. Shamelessly Reclaiming My Ambition: The Disconnection Epidemic 18.08.2026 16min

  I've talked a lot about burnout, but so has everyone else in this space. I'm starting to think we've been diagnosing the wrong thing, because the women I work with aren't always JUST exhausted. They have capacity, however they seem to be lacking the desire they once had. They're functioning, often even performing well, but they feel flat… uninspired && disconnected from the drive that used to make them insatiable. That's not simply burnout, that's disconnection. In this episode I'm br...

In this episode, we’ll explore what ADHD actually looks like in high-achieving women, how to build a life and business th...

Regulation is not something you can see on th...
