#190 Navigating Burnout as a Highly Sensitive Woman in Business

In this episode, we dive deep into the unique challenges that highly sensitive, spiritually-attuned women face in the entrepreneurial world. Graced with finely tuned nervous systems, we often feel overwhelmed by the fast pace, constant stimulation, and patriarchal demands of productivity at all costs. Despite having a wealth of training, degrees, and sacred gifts to offer, we encounter friction (inner and outer) when trying to share our work with the world.

I explore how burnout—an issue affecting 42% of female entrepreneurs—can persist even with all the right self-care practices in place. We’ll talk about why traditional self-care often falls short and how something deeper is needed for true transformation. I’ll share how we can heal burnout from the inside out, using a fresh approach rooted in feminine wisdom, collective collaboration, and deeper self-care.

Join me as we examine what’s really happening beneath the surface and discuss how we can forge a more sustainable, soul-aligned path forward. If you’re ready to break free from burnout and find a new way of working, this episode is for you.
