Is burnout the price of success?

I don’t buy it.

But I also think many of us have to get clear about what “success” means to us.

Many of us are chasing someone else’s definition of success.

For a while, many years probably, we don’t even realize it.

But it takes a heavy toll.

One of the biggest sources of stress so many high achieving women are dealing with is the stress of living and working in a way that doesn’t match what we really desire and value deep inside.

So if you’re going after a version of success that isn’t yours? Yeah, burnout is inevitable.

Part of the healing process means coming to terms with what you actually want, and asking for it and going after it unapologetically.

I had 3 therapists. One tried to medicate me. (nope, thanks!)

Another literally threw up her hands in exasperation when I wasn’t feeling better (”I don’t know what to do for you!” she said. Not joking).

The third actually got me to take action and stop overthinking.

(And she also didn’t just let me stay in therapy for the rest of my life, but that’s a topic for another day.)

My therapist that actually helped me? We had great rapport. She made me feel normal. And she knew how to get me to take scary action, outside my comfort zone.

At that point in my life, that’s a big part of what I needed.

The other thing I needed, I had to find elsewhere.

And that was the SOMATIC part. I needed help getting out of my head, constantly analyzing everything, believing every story in my mind.

I needed to reconnect with my BODY. To learn to trust myself again. The work I’ve done in that department is what’s helped me put burnout and chronic anxiety to bed for good.

One of the reasons I became a coach was to help fellow high-achieving women recover from burnout a lot faster and more easily than I did.

But I also know that sometimes you need a coach, sometimes you need a therapist, and sometimes you need both.

I wrote a blog post on this topic, specifically to help you figure out what sort of support you need in your burnout recovery journey, so you can make an informed decision and start getting that help asap.

Burnout can look a lot like laziness from the outside - or from your deep inner mean girl.

For women who’ve always prided themselves on their hard work ethic, their ambition and drive, their edge…

…feeling less motivated or “lazy” can feel like FAILURE.

But when this is happening, the last thing we need is to blame ourselves, beat up on ourselves, or even force ourselves to work harder.

What we need is to recognize that this “laziness” is actually a message: we’ve been pushing too hard, for too long.

Our nervous system has been stuck in survival mode for far too long.

And we can’t operate that way any longer.

The real fix?

First, give yourself some grace.

Second, allow yourself to pause.

Third, learn how to shift your nervous system out of survival mode.

And when you start doing those things, you might realize there’s other changes you want to make to the context of your life - that maybe the way you’re living and working is pushing you past capacity.

But it’s hard to know what those changes would be, until you can start giving your nervous system a rest from constant crisis-mode.

I absolutely love supporting women with this work because, in all honesty, it’s changed my own life.

And I just created a free training that breaks down the exact 3-part process I guide my clients through to help them heal burnout for good- and without quitting their jobs or spending half their life on self-care.

Seemingly “small” health issues feel like an annoyance till one day you’re hit with a crisis like a ton of bricks.

Sometimes that’s a health crisis (obviously. And if this has already happened, my heart goes out to you).

Other times it’s a different kind of crisis.

A “need to quit my job” crisis.

A “getting a divorce” crisis.

Please listen: those pesky physical symptoms are messages from your body.

They’re saying you’re carrying too much.

They’re saying you’re exerting yourself beyond capacity.

They’re saying you’re under more stress than you’re currently able to handle.

They’re signs that you are in burnout and that it’s time to take action.

I relate this from personal experience, and from working with high-achieving women on burnout recovery, most of whom reached out when in ‘crisis’ mode.

But could take action before the crisis hits?

In my free training, I breakdown what that kind of action can look like.

You’ll learn why high achieving women are so prone to burnout, what keeps us stuck for so long, and what *actually* works to resolve burnout once and for all.

(Even if you’ve been ‘doing all the things’ to fix yourself, and to no avail).

Looking for better work-life balance and to end burnout, for good? You’re in the right place, give me a follow👉 Jennifer Costanza PhD | Burnout Recovery for Women Leaders

Work-life balance isn’t a myth, and it’s NOT something that gets handed to you.

It’s something you create.

You must want it and believe you deserve it.

And because the source of this balance is YOU - your needs, your desires - it’ll look different for everyone.

It’s not just about closing your laptop and leaving work at 5pm.

It doesn’t mean a 50/50 split between “work” and “life”.

It DOES mean digging deep to uncover the real reasons you don’t have the balance you want.

It DOES mean figuring out what would feel like a “successful life” (not just a successful career) to you.

It DOES require acknowledging and learning to shift long-engrained patterns that are extending your work hours and burning you out (patterns like overachieving, people pleasing).

I won’t strategize with you about how to color block you calendar.

I don’t obsess over productivity hacks (even if I do love a pretty Notion dashboard).

What I WILL do is share real-life tools and perspectives on how high-achieving women can be successful in our careers AND in our lives.

I want to help you beat burnout and hang onto your ambition at the same time.

If that sounds cool, let’s be friends.
