The Cost of Being the Woman Who Handles Everything: Identifying High-Performance Burnout

This episode unpacks what you need to know about high performance burnout, a pattern in high-achieving women who are quietly running on empty. Kristen introduces the podcast’s focus: the type of burnout women experience that hides in plain sight because they still handle everything. As a licensed clinical social worker, founder of Frontline Wellness Group, and someone who grew up around frontline work as the daughter of a police officer, she is all too familiar with it. Kristen looks at why the body doesn't always get the memo that a crisis is over and why women in high-stakes roles carry a unique type of load.Some takeaways:What the clear signs of high performance burnout areHow competence can conceal distressWhat the difference between a busy schedule and repeated exposure to crisis, grief, or high-stakes decisions isHow to identify data that will help in your recoveryA two-question check-in for the transition between work and homeConnect with Kristen:🌐 Frontline Wellness Group📋Free High Pressure Leadership Assessment🎙️ Work with Kristen📱 Instagram Hosted on Acast.
