Unburnable Ambition: Redesign Success Without Burning Out with Sheekha Singh

Unburnable Ambition: Redesign Success Without Burning Out with Sheekha Singh

Ambition can look like progress on the outside, while quietly draining you on the inside. This episode explores what happens when you keep achieving, but your mental health starts paying the price.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan speaks with Sheekha Singh about burnout, identity, and the invisible expectations that drive high performers—especially from an immigrant lens. If you’re juggling roles, saying yes too often, and struggling to protect your energy, you’ll leave with practical shifts to pursue goals without losing yourself.

About the Guest:

Sheekha Singh is an award-winning author, tech leader, and host of the podcast Rise and Tell with Sheekha. She wrote Unburnable Ambition to reframe hustle culture and help high achievers pursue success sustainably.

Key Takeaways:
  • Audit what your ambition is costing your mental health and relationships

  • Redefine “success” for yourself—not family, teachers, or culture

  • Use a simple “no” script that’s firm, kind, and consistent

  • Compare “value vs. drain” before accepting new commitments

  • Schedule 5–15 minutes daily to do nothing—no screens, no input

  • Start boundary-setting with family first, then expand outward
