481: High-Functioning Burnout Exposed: The Perpetual Chase
Why does “one more launch… one more zero… one more goal” never feel like enough?
In Part 3 of our 5-part High-Functioning Burnout Exposed series with Awaken the Muse, we’re exploring the perpetual chase - that constant striving for more, even when you’ve already achieved so much. This episode unpacks why accomplishment rarely brings the fulfillment we expect, how cultural conditioning keeps women tying their worth to output, and what it really takes to feel satisfied now instead of always chasing the next milestone.
Walk away with a sturdier definition of “enough,” a simple way to expand your capacity without overloading your plate, and a journal prompt that helps you create from abundance, not scarcity.
TIMESTAMPS

10:31 Breaking the self-sacrificing blueprint so many women inherit
