TRUE Wellness with Dr. Dee

ADHD, Over giving & Mental Clutter: Why High Achievers Burn Out

Dr. Dee Season 2 Episode 56

Why are smart, capable women drowning in overwhelm… even with all the planners, checklists, and productivity hacks?

In this powerful episode of the TRUE Wellness Podcast, Dr. Dee sits down with Lisa Zawrotn, who is a Productivity + Life Coach and host of the Positively Living® Podcast on a mission to redefine productivity with compassion. She helps overwhelmed clients ditch hustle culture and design shame-free, personalized systems that lead to sustainable success without burnout or sacrificing what they love.

Lisa reveals the truth behind why women burn out:

 not because they’re doing too little…

 but because they’re doing too much from a dysregulated nervous system.


Together, we uncover:

1. Time management doesn’t work without nervous system management.

You cannot organize your life when your brain is in survival mode.

2. Most women aren’t unproductive — they’re overwhelmed.

The problem isn’t motivation. It’s capacity.

3. Your to-do list reveals your nervous system patterns.

Avoidance, overcommitting, perfectionism — all signs of dysregulation.

4. Productivity must be personalized, not forced.

Your brain, season of life, energy, and capacity matter more than any system.

5. Self-compassion is the most productive thing you can practice.

Pressure collapses your capacity. Compassion expands it.

This isn’t time-blocking. This isn’t “do more, push harder.”

This is productivity rooted in self-compassion, nervous system regulation, and aligned decision-making.

If you’re exhausted from trying to “be productive,” this episode will set you free.
