UnCeiling You: High-Performance Leadership without Burnout
You didn't burn out because you're weak. You burned out because you're the one everyone depends on — and nobody ever defined where your responsibility ends.
UnCeiling You — High Performance Leadership Without Burnout is for high-functioning leaders who are ready to rise without running themselves into the ground.
Host Dr. Natalie Luke — PhD, former Senior Vice President in a STEM company, author, and leadership performance consultant — breaks down the real drivers of burnout in high performers: unclear ownership, over-responsibility, and urgency culture that rewards reaction over results.
Each episode combines peer-reviewed research with real conversations and practical strategies so you can do what most leaders never learn: lead at your highest level without paying the cost showing up in your health, your relationships, or your team's performance.
Whether you're carrying too much yourself or leading a team where someone else is — this podcast was built for both of you.

The Boldest Career Move You Can Make: Saying No with Confidence
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the boldest career move you can make isn’t a yes — but a no?
In this powerful episode of UnCeiling You, Natalie sits down with Stacie Shifflett, a woman who has rewritten what leadership looks like in rooms where she was never “supposed” to hold power.
From turning down multiple offers from Booz Allen…
to negotiating work on her own terms…
to helping lead a $50 million acquisition without a college degree…
to walking away from lucrative roles that didn’t align with her values…
Stacie’s career is a masterclass in self-trust, boundaries, and courageous reinvention.
This episode will challenge the myth that success is built through sacrifice and saying yes.
Instead, you’ll learn how the right boundaries create clarity, authority, and sustainable leadership.
