Why High Performers Burn Out with Irene Lyon

Why High Performers Burn Out with Irene Lyon

I sit down with Irene Lyon to unpack why so many high performers eventually hit a wall. We break down what nervous system regulation actually means, how early attachment shapes stress resilience, and why optimization alone won’t solve burnout. If you’ve been pushing harder, doing more, and still feeling something isn’t right, this conversation will help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. This isn’t about working less. It’s about working from a regulated system instead of survival.
