How to Get Ahead By Millennial Life Coaches

In this episode of How to Get Ahead with Millennial Life Coaches, host Lorna Taylor sits down with Skye van Heyzen, founder of Adaptive Apex, for a powerful conversation about burnout, boundaries, stress, confidence, productivity, and what it really takes to get ahead without losing yourself in the process.Skye works with ambitious women in mid and senior roles, especially in male-dominated sectors, helping them lower stress, rebuild confidence, protect their time, and progress in their careers without sacrificing who they are. Adaptive Apex describes this work as practical coaching for women carrying responsibility, pressure, workplace politics, and the invisible load that often comes with leadership.In this honest conversation, Skye opens up about experiencing burnout multiple times, including the physical and emotional consequences of pushing too hard for too long. Together, Lorna and Skye explore why burnout is not simply about working long hours — it is also about conditioning, saying yes too often, carrying responsibility that is not yours, ignoring your non-negotiables, and failing to metabolize stress before the next stressor arrives.In this episode, we discuss:• What burnout can look like for high achievers• How workplace conditioning contributes to burnout• Why women in business face pressure around performance and likability• Why every yes means saying no to something else• Why self-preservation is not selfish• How to metabolize stress and reset your nervous system• Why stress is not always bad — but unmanaged stress is dangerous• How founders and senior leaders can stop the stress spiral• Why resilience may not be enoughConnect with Skye / Skye van Heyzen and Adaptive Apex:Website: https://adaptiveapex.org/About Adaptive Apex: https://adaptiveapex.org/aboutBook a Free Call: https://sites.adaptiveapex.org/Take the Power Pattern Quiz: https://adaptiveapex.org/power-pattern-quizLearn more about Millennial Life Coaches:https://millenniallifecoaches.com/Millennial Life Coaches connects millennials with coaches, conversations, and personal growth resources designed to support life, leadership, wellness, mindset, relationships, career development, and transformation.
