322: You're Not "Fine": The Burnout Signs High Achievers Keep Dismissing with Nikia Smith

So many women are exhausted and calling it normal.

 

In this week's episode of Life Coaching for Mompreneurs, I'm joined by Dr. Nikia Smith for a deeply honest conversation about hustle culture, emotional exhaustion, boundaries, and how to stop living in survival mode.

 

We talk about:

✨ The subtle signs of burnout

✨ Why ambitious women struggle to rest

✨ How to start saying no without guilt

✨ The mindset shifts that change everything

 

If you've been overwhelmed, emotionally drained, irritable, exhausted, or secretly fantasizing about escaping your life just to rest, this conversation will help you feel seen and supported.

 

This is your permission to slow down and finally take care of yourself again. You are worthy of rest before your body forces you to stop. 💛
