From Burnout to Boundaries: How to Redefine Success Without Running on Empty with Roslyn McLarty of Within

February 18, 2025 • Kirsti McNabney • Season 1 • Episode 122

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly pushing, striving, and checking off the next thing on your to-do list—only to still feel exhausted and unfulfilled—this episode is for you.

This week, I’m joined by Roslyn McLarty, an executive coach and founder of Within, who helps high-achievers create sustainable success without sacrificing their wellbeing. After co-founding and scaling the sports media brand The GIST, Roslyn found herself deep in burnout, battling self-doubt, overwhelm, and exhaustion. Now, she helps others redefine their relationship with work, rest, and personal fulfillment.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

The real signs of burnout – and why most people don’t recognize them until it’s too late.
Why so many high-achievers feel like they’re never doing enough (and how to challenge that belief).
How to break free from hustle culture and trust that rest is productive.
Practical mindset shifts and nervous system tools to help prevent burnout.
How perfectionism and people-pleasing contribute to burnout—and what to do about it.
Small, intentional habits that create more ease in your daily life.
Roslyn’s journey from burned-out founder to building a business rooted in alignment and well-being.

This episode will give you tangible insights to redefine success in a way that prioritizes your energy, creativity, and well-being.
