The Life of And podcast is for high-achieving women and working parents who are ready to stop living a life of “have to” and start designing a life they actually want. It’s a space where we talk honestly about the things we’re often afraid to admit — even to ourselves. The exhaustion. The ambition. The loneliness. The joy. The tension of wanting more without losing yourself in the process. If you’re in the thick of it — feeling stretched, tired, hopeful, driven — this is your invitation to take a breath, get real, and find your way back to your own Life of And.

276: The Real Reason You’re Burnt Out—And How to Fix It

What if the very things that challenge you most—motherhood, ambition, fear—are actually the keys to building a life that energizes you?

Heather Chauvin, a mom, author, podcast host, and leadership coach, joins Tiffany to explore embracing life’s challenges and building a fulfilling, balanced existence. Heather shares her journey from teenage motherhood to becoming a resilient leader, transforming struggles, including a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, into fuel for personal growth and inspiration.

In this episode, Heather and Tiffany dive into:

The mindset shifts that separate surviving from thriving
Why “balance” isn’t about doing it all—but doing what fuels you
Heather’s powerful energy management strategy that actually works
What training for (and completing!) three marathons in three days taught her about life, parenting, and leadership
How to stop over-functioning for everyone else—and start prioritizing yourself (without guilt!)

If you’re feeling stretched thin, stuck in survival mode, or afraid to dream bigger, this conversation will remind you: you’re capable of more than you think.
