Are you dying for your career?

Dr. Nicole Bryan, a psychologist and leadership coach specializing in introverted women in leadership roles, explores the complex issue of work addiction, particularly how it disproportionately affects high-achieving introverted women. Dr. Bryan explains that work addiction is a real behavioral addiction, not just busyness, and outlines various symptoms such as compulsive working, mental preoccupation, and eroded personal relationships. The conversation covers why society rewards work addiction, making it harder to diagnose and address, and details how introverted women are especially vulnerable due to their reflective and identity-linked approach to work. She also touches on potential solutions and professional help avenues for those struggling with work addiction.
