Have you ever told yourself you’re fine… while your body quietly disagrees?

So many high-performing working women assume burnout means they are not managing well enough, not resilient enough, or not strong enough. But what if burnout is not a personal flaw? What if it is feedback?

In this episode, I sit down with Rachael Edmondson-Clarke, a former corporate leader who knows the cost of high performance firsthand. After years of leadership success, Rachel collapsed on her office floor from burnout. That moment reshaped how she understood career growth, sustainability, and leadership.

Today, Rachael works with senior leaders and executive teams to help them perform at a high level without sacrificing their health, energy, or identity.

We talk about:
✅ Why burnout is often biological before it is emotional
✅ The difference between capability and capacity in leadership
✅ How high achievers unintentionally override their own warning signs
✅ Why rest and restoration are prerequisites for sustainable performance
✅ Small, realistic shifts that increase bandwidth without adding more pressure

If you are ambitious, responsible, and deeply committed to doing excellent work, this conversation will challenge the belief that pushing harder is the solution.

Burnout is not weakness. It is information.

And learning to read that information may be the most strategic career move you make.
