The Cost of Doing It All: Nathi Narciso on Burnout, Boundaries, and Choosing Yourself
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome back to Minding Her Own Business. Today we have Nathi Narciso back for season two; and this time we're on video, fully committed, head to toe. Nathi is a first-gen bilingual Brazilian empowerment strategist, speaker, and community leader based in New York City, and the founder of Gostosa Energy. She helps women build lives that actually feel like theirs: on their own terms, not society's. If you're in a season where everything looks good on paper but something still feels off, this episode is for you.
In this conversation:
- Burnout doesn't announce itself, it shows up as a spiking heart rate in a meeting, zero energy at the gym, and being one comment away from a full meltdown
- You can wake up at 5am for a client call but won't wake up at 5am for Pilates. And that double standard is exactly what's keeping you depleted.
- Being first gen means carrying the invisible weight of proving your family's sacrifice was worth it, even when nobody actually asked you to.
- Nobody at 34 has it figured out. The older you get, the more you realize everyone is just making it up as they go.
- The things you do so freely for others, like cooking, gifting, showing up, are the exact things you're withholding from yourself.
- If you birth with your brain, your business is your baby, and that reframe changes everything about how you show up for your work.
You'll walk away with permission to acknowledge burnout before your body forces you to stop, a reminder to treat yourself with the same generosity you give freely to everyone else, and the clarity that the timeline you've been following might not even be one anyone asked you to follow. You'll also gain the nudge to stop performing success for other people and start defining it for yourself, because the life you actually want is waiting on the other side of that decision. Plus, the reminder that being true to yourself, above anything else, is the simplest and most radical thing you can do.
