Breaking The Burnout CycleBreaking The Burnout CycleEpisode 64: The Truth About Progress In Different Seasons Of LifeLife throws you curve balls and now you just can't catch a break to find time to catch up on your never ending to-do list. We've all been there...Your kid gets sick, family events that need your time and attention, clients who need you and suddenly you're behind on checking things off your to-do list and the things you know you need to get done to move the needle forward towards your goals and dreams gets put on the back burner. You can't help but look at colleagues around you who seem to have it...2025-06-1917 minShift or Get Off the PotShift or Get Off the PotBeyond Burnout: Removing Subconscious Blocks Limiting Your PotentialToday’s episode is for you high achievers and those of you who feel like you're in a trap of busy, busy, busy, with long to-do lists and lots of hustling but feeling drained, tired, and definitely unsatisfied.My guest is a master certified neuro coach and doctor of physical therapy who thought she was living the American Dream only to find herself completely burned out and on the edge of losing her marriage. If you’re constantly hustling, filling every minute with tasks, and still feel like something’s missing, this conversation is for you.Dr. Reana...2025-06-1254 minBreaking The Burnout CycleBreaking The Burnout CycleEpisode 63: Are Your Beliefs Or Your Brain Chemistry Keeping You Stuck?Ever feel trapped in cycles of people-pleasing, procrastination, or motivation that comes and goes like the tide? You're not alone. The burning question many face is whether these patterns stem from clinical diagnoses like anxiety and depression or from deeper subconscious beliefs. As someone who's burned out twice and helped countless others break free, I'm here to challenge the either/or thinking that keeps so many stuck.The relationship between our brain chemistry and thought patterns isn't a chicken-or-egg scenario—it's a continuous feedback loop. When depression lowers serotonin and dopamine levels, decision-making becomes harder as the pr...2025-06-0411 minBreaking The Burnout CycleBreaking The Burnout CycleEpisode 62: Are You Burning Out Trying to Fix Everyone Else?Feeling exhausted from trying to change family members who just don't seem to get it? You're not alone, and this might be draining your energy more than you realize.After experiencing this frustration while living with my mother for several months, I noticed the same pattern emerging in my coaching clients—the belief that if only their loved ones would change, everything would be better. This expectation creates a loop of disappointment that feeds directly into burnout.The hard truth I've learned through neuroscience and personal experience is that people rarely change because someone tells th...2025-05-2818 minBreaking The Burnout CycleBreaking The Burnout CycleEpisode 61: The #1 Reason Why Your To Do List Rules Your LifeAre you caught in a never-ending cycle of setting ambitious goals, feeling like you're not making progress fast enough, and ultimately burning out? You're not alone. As high achievers, we've been programmed to define "wins" in ways that actually fuel our exhaustion and feelings of inadequacy.In this revealing episode, Dr. Reana Mulcahy pulls back the curtain on one of the most insidious causes of burnout among high performers. Through a candid coaching session, she exposes the dangerous "worthiness loop" that traps us in the belief that we're only as valuable as our latest major accomplishment. When...2025-05-2108 minBreaking The Burnout CycleBreaking The Burnout CycleEpisode 60: The High Achiever's Blind Spot...Why We Can't See Our Own WinsWhy do high achievers struggle to celebrate their wins? We excel at achievement but fail at self-acknowledgment.At the core of this challenge lies your brain's evolutionary wiring. Your neural pathways are designed to scan for problems rather than celebrate wins – a survival mechanism that once protected our ancestors but now creates a perpetual state of "never enough" for ambitious individuals. When I work with high-achieving clients, they consistently struggle with the simple task of identifying a single weekly win, not because they haven't made progress, but because their definition of success has become dangerously narrow.2025-05-1412 minBreaking The Burnout CycleBreaking The Burnout CycleEpisode 59: Rewiring Indecision - The Truth About Why We Get Stuck on Big Life ChoicesEver found yourself caught in the quicksand of a major decision, where the more you think about it, the deeper you sink? That paralysis isn't what you think it is. Contrary to popular belief, indecision rarely stems from not knowing what you want. The surprising truth is that indecision happens when you actually DO know what your heart desires, but you've been conditioned not to trust that knowing. Through years of education, family influence, and societal pressure, we've all absorbed the message that there are "right" and "wrong" choices – and that the wrong ones lead to failure, re...2025-05-0720 minBreaking The Burnout CycleBreaking The Burnout CycleEpisode 58: How to Conquer Overwhelm in Five Minutes or LessEver felt paralyzed by your to-do list or daunted by the massive gap between your current reality and your ambitious goals? That overwhelming sensation isn't just uncomfortable—it's your brain's protective mechanism kicking into high gear, convinced you lack what it takes to succeed.As a two-time burnout survivor, I've discovered that overwhelm operates on a fascinating psychological loop. Your brain perceives a threat (too many tasks, too little time, too big a goal), triggers a stress response, and then creates a compelling narrative: "If I can't handle this, I'm failing. If I'm failing, I'll be...2025-04-3013 minBreaking The Burnout CycleBreaking The Burnout CycleEpisode 57: How To Hit Your Goals Faster By Strengthening Your Intuition With Jill FoubisterHave you ever had that moment where you said, "I knew it, I should have trusted my gut"? That's your intuition speaking – and according to intuition expert Jill Fubister, tapping into this innate power could be the key to breaking your burnout cycle for good.In this enlightening conversation, Jill reveals the startling truth that we're all born intuitive, but many of us have simply lost touch with this powerful internal guidance system. "It is not like Susie was born with intuition and Bob didn't get it. Everyone has intuition," Jill explains. The problem? Our society trains us...2025-04-2341 minBreaking The Burnout CycleBreaking The Burnout CycleThe Confidence Myth: Why Waiting for Achievements To Feel Confident Keeps You StuckConfidence is not the reward waiting at the finish line of achievement—it's the fuel that propels you toward your goals. In this eye-opening exploration of our relationship with self-assurance, I dismantle the dangerous myth that confidence arrives after success, credentials, or external validation.Drawing from both personal experience and insights from working with high-achievers, I reveal how my own confidence would vanish when surrounded by seven-figure entrepreneurs despite having a doctorate and multiple certifications. This phenomenon exposes the true nature of confidence: it's not about what you've accomplished, but where you place your attention. When we fi...2025-04-1611 minBreaking The Burnout CycleBreaking The Burnout CycleEpisode 55: Why Your Brain Keeps You Stuck in Patterns That Don't Serve YouYour brain has an incredible superpower - it's constantly working to keep you safe. But sometimes, that protection mechanism backfires, creating thought and behavior patterns that hold you back from the success you know you're capable of achieving.Think about it: have you ever found yourself repeating the same self-sabotaging behaviors even though you logically know they don't serve you? Maybe you procrastinate on important projects, shy away from visibility opportunities, or unconsciously create drama when things are going too well. These aren't character flaws or "bad habits" - they're sophisticated protection mechanisms.Every persistent...2025-04-0922 minBreaking The Burnout CycleBreaking The Burnout CycleHow Unspoken Expectations Fuel Your BurnoutHave you ever found yourself seething with resentment toward a family member, colleague, or client, but couldn't quite pinpoint why? That sneaky emotion might be the hidden force keeping you trapped in the burnout cycle.Resentment doesn't just appear out of nowhere. As I explore in this episode, it emerges from expectations that haven't been met – particularly what I call "stealth expectations." These are the unspoken standards and anticipated outcomes we hold without consciously acknowledging them. Drawing from Brené Brown's groundbreaking work, I detail how these invisible expectations create a dangerous pattern for high achievers.Wha...2025-04-0214 minNot That Kind of CEO - business for female entrepreneursNot That Kind of CEO - business for female entrepreneursIs This the Belief Holding You Back?

After finding myself sitting in a hospital parking lot at 8pm—$175,000 in debt, overlooked for promotions, and dreading going home to another fight—I questioned everything I'd been taught about success.Most high-achievers make a critical mistake when facing the disconnect between achievements and happiness. We blame external factors for our dissatisfaction and believe changing our environment will bring freedom and fulfillment. This flawed approach led me to quit my physical therapy job for entrepreneurship, only to find myself even more burnt out and deeper in d...2025-03-1916 minBreaking The Burnout CycleBreaking The Burnout CycleThe #1 Skill We Can Learn From Children About Unlocking AbundanceWhat if we flipped the narrative and learned from children instead of teaching them? In this thought-provoking episode, we explore how toddlers possess a unique ability to dream and express their desires without the stress and anxiety that often plagues adults. By examining the barriers we face as grown-ups, such as societal norms and ingrained beliefs, we begin to unlock the true potential within us. Discover how channeling your inner child can lead to a more fulfilling life, rich with abundance and joy.
