In this episode, Jen sits down with Alex Stark, an executive coach and licensed therapist specializing in burnout for Alex Stark Coaching. Alex shares her insights into navigating burnout, particularly for high-achieving women, many of whom are balancing careers and motherhood.
Alex emphasizes the importance of understanding one's internal validation and how it impacts work-life balance. She delves into the patterns of seeking external validation, often derived from achievements and titles, and the necessity of unraveling these narratives to find authentic self-worth.
Through real-life examples, Alex illustrates the transformational journey of her clients, who learn to set boundaries, delegate responsibilities, and prioritize their well-being. She emphasizes the power of delegation not only in the workplace but also in personal life, encouraging listeners to share the mental load and create space for self-care.
Throughout the conversation, Jen and Alex discuss the cultural expectations placed on women, the challenges of juggling multiple roles, and the importance of defining personal values and priorities. They also touch on the significance of delegation in fostering autonomy and growth in others.
