For decades, women have been fighting for equality, breaking barriers, and proving they can do it all. But at what cost? In this powerful and eye-opening talk, Angie Besignano dives into the silent epidemic of burnout among high-achievers—why it happens, how it manifests, and what we can do about it.Drawing from her own experiences and years of coaching top executives, Angie explores the unrealistic expectations placed on professional women, the pressure to juggle multiple roles flawlessly, and the emotional toll of always striving for more. Through engaging storytelling and actionable insights, she challenges the myth that success must come at the expense of well-being and introduces the concept of “healthy selfishness”—a mindset shift that allows women to reclaim their time, energy, and purpose.Whether you’re a rising leader, a seasoned executive, or someone who feels like they’re constantly running on empty, this talk will leave you with the tools and permission to prioritize yourself—without guilt, without compromise, and without burning out.Key Takeaways:→ Burnout Isn’t Just Work—It’s Overloading Every RoleJuggling all the roles—leader, partner, parent—without prioritizing yourself leads to burnout.
