Episode Synopsis

We often celebrate brilliance without seeing the burden it can quietly carry.In this soul-stirring episode of R&R: Resilience & Rebirth, I sit down with Hiva, a profoundly gifted woman whose intelligence was recognized early, but at a cost few talk about. As a child with a remarkably high IQ, Hiva wasn’t just learning; she was teaching. But behind the awe and admiration was a growing pressure… one that eventually led to burnout, self-doubt, and deep depression.Hiva’s story is a powerful reminder that success without rest, intelligence without nourishment, and drive without compassion can become dangerous. What was once labeled a gift became an internal prison of perfectionism, exhaustion, and isolation.Together, we explore:The untold emotional toll of being “the gifted one”How burnout can mask itself as ambitionThe critical need for rest, stillness, and self-acceptanceThe courage it takes to redefine success and reclaim your lifeThis episode is for anyone who has ever felt like their potential came with pressure… and for those silently struggling behind high performance.Your worth isn’t measured by your output. And your brilliance includes your ability to rest.🎙️ Join the conversation, share your story, your voice matters.📲 Follow R&R: Resilience and Rebirth for raw stories, deep insights, and soul-stirring conversations.🎧 Tune in now and let this episode pour purpose and power into your day.💬 Got a story to share or know someone whose voice needs to be heard?
