if you keep overworking and burning out, you should watch this

If you keep overworking, pushing through exhaustion and burning out again and again, this video is for you. Chronic overworking is a learnt pattern and it often starts much deeper than your to-do list.

In this video, I talk honestly about why so many capable, intelligent women can’t seem to stop overworking even when they know it’s harming them. We explore burnout through the lens of the nervous system, identity, childhood conditioning and inherited beliefs around worth, safety and productivity.

This isn’t about better time management or doing less for a week. It’s about understanding why overworking becomes emotional regulation, why rest can feel unsafe, and how burnout is often tied to people pleasing, hyper-responsibility, and unprocessed grief or pressure.

This is for you if you’re rebuilding after burnout, feel trapped in overachieving patterns or are tired of self-abandoning in the name of being “good,” “reliable,” or “successful.” If you want to break the cycle of overworking without shaming yourself or losing your ambition, you’re in the right place.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
✨ Why chronic overworking isn’t about motivation or willpower
✨ How burnout is connected to your nervous system and emotional safety
✨ The hidden beliefs that link self-worth to productivity
✨ Why rest can feel threatening after years of overachieving
✨ How to begin healing burnout patterns without swinging into avoidance
