Little Fires Everywhere: Why High Achievers Are Always Burned Out (And How To Stop)

Little Fires Everywhere: Why High Achievers Are Always Burned Out (And How To Stop)

You're the one everyone turns to when things go sideways.

You stay calm when the stakes are high.

You SHINE under pressure.

So why are you so burned out?

In this episode of Calm AF, I'm breaking down the real reason high achievers feel like they're constantly putting out fires—and why your nervous system can't seem to turn off, even when there's nothing actually burning.

We're talking about:

  • Why hypervigilance isn't the secret to your success

  • What firefighters can teach you about calm under pressure

  • How your nervous system turns minor stress into five-alarm panic

  • The identity trap of being "the one who holds it all together"

  • Why regulating BEFORE the pressure hits is the actual flex

If you're tired of living like every moment is an emergency, this episode will feel like a permission slip and a wake-up call.
