Season 3, Episode 7: Thriving or Draining? The Overachiever's Dilemma
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
For the first time, Cecily Leeman steps out from behind the scenes and into the spotlight to talk about a topic that hits close to home: the impact and complexity of overachieving as women in male‑dominated fields.
With Anika Howard and Bronwen Gregg by her side, Cecily opens up about the pressure to outperform, the seasons where overachievement feels necessary, and the moments when it becomes unsustainable. Their conversation digs into the emotional, cultural, and professional layers of striving, succeeding, and sometimes stretching too far.
They ask the questions many women think about but rarely say out loud:
- What does overachieving really mean
- How do you know when it helps—and when it harms
- Are we driven by internal ambition or external expectations
It’s a thoughtful, empowering conversation about ambition, identity, and the courage it takes to redefine success on your own terms.
