Episode Synopsis

We're flipping the burnout conversation on its head. If you've ever thought more sleep, better boundaries, or a new planner would solve your exhaustion — this episode is your wake-up call. Kelly explores groundbreaking research that reveals what's actually driving burnout in high-achieving women and professionals — and it has far more to do with internalized roles, identity suppression, and chronic self-surveillance than just workload. You'll hear the deeper story, real-world examples, and powerful coaching prompts to help you start unhooking from identities that are quietly draining you. This isn't surface-level advice — it's a path back to yourself. Episode Links: Email Kelly: [email protected] Slide into Kelly's DM's on Instagram Details about Ascend   Research Links:
