447: Burnout Is Not a Badge of Honour: H...

Monica Yates
About this episode

Why your success, control, and mental load are killing polarity (and what to do about it) ||

 

In this episode, Monica unpacks the root causes of burnout in hyper-successful women—not just the exhaustion, but the nervous system patterns that drive it. She unpacks how chronic over-achieving, mental load, and a refusal to ask for help become blocks that impact your health, your business, and your relationship. 

 

From nervous system dysregulation to running the entire household while still expecting him to lead, this conversation exposes what’s actually keeping you stuck in your masculine, and why your current version of “success” might be the very thing disconnecting you from your feminine, your man, and your peace.

 

More inside the episode:

🔥The dangers of only resting and slowing down when you’re sick

🔥The invisible weight of mental load and learning to actually ask for help

🔥How rest can be productive and why it’s essential for sustainable success

🔥What you’re really making “asking for help” mean about you

🔥Building systems that hold you at home, in business, in life

🔥The obsession with being “high-value” and how it’s showing up in dating

🔥Why embracing your softness doesn’t make you less capable

🔥The ways you’re blocking your man from leading without knowing it

🔥Monica’s wedding vows to Hal and how they reflect true partnership
