EP 085 Breaking the Burnout Cycle Among High Achieving Women

About this episode

Dr. Lola Day interviews Dr. Jeannie Lawrence about breaking the burnout cycle among high achieving women.

On this episode of the LollieTasking Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Jeannie Lawrence, a board certified psychiatrist, life coach, and entrepreneur who helps high achieving women create lives that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside. Dr. Jeannie shares her journey into psychiatry and how learning to trust her inner voice helped her choose a path that others did not always understand. She opens up about the pressure to follow expectations, the importance of alignment, and what it really takes to build a career that feels right for you. Together, we explore how burnout shows up in high achieving women, why many continue pushing through exhaustion, and how misalignment between your inner world and your daily life can lead to disconnection over time. We also discuss the importance of slowing down, creating space to hear yourself, and building habits that support clarity and well being. Dr. Jeannie also shares practical insights on how to begin addressing burnout, from simple intentional pauses to seeking support, and why giving yourself permission to matter is one of the most powerful steps toward creating a more sustainable and fulfilling life.
