About this episode

Vera Knight discusses the phenomenon of high-functioning women losing themselves and shares insights on reclaiming one's identity after burnout and personal challenges.

You look capable. You hold it all together. But somewhere along the way, you started leaving yourself behind — one small retreat at a time. Vera Knight calls it the half-second exit. And once you see it, you can't unsee it. After a burnout and a cancer diagnosis cracked her open, Vera stopped managing her life from a distance and started actually living it. Now she helps high-functioning women find their way back to themselves — and in this conversation, she'll help you find yours.
