208 What burnout REALLY looks like (and why you might not realise you’re even in it)

You’re holding it all together. You’re showing up, getting it done. But underneath? You’re tired in a way that sleep doesn’t quite fix. You’re juggling everything and you look like you’re in control of it all, and yet something still feels off.

This is what I call hidden burnout — and it’s incredibly common for high-achieving, capable women. In today’s episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what burnout really looks like, why you might not even realise you’re experiencing it, and why the real cause isn’t your busy schedule… but the weight of expectations, stories, and “shoulds” you’ve been carrying for years.

Key Takeaways:

• The often-dismissed signs of burnout that women commonly overlook
• Why burnout isn’t just about doing too much — but about how you feel about everything you’re doing
• The hidden beliefs, expectations, and old stories keeping you stuck in the burnout loop
• How to use the Reclaim phase of the 3Rs Framework to start shifting your internal pressure
• A new lens for recognising burnout and a compassionate path for coming out of it

If you’ve been telling yourself you’re “fine” while quietly feeling exhausted, this episode is your invitation to stop gaslighting yourself and start reclaiming your energy, your voice, and your version of life.
