About this episode

Mindset coach Sarah Robb discusses how to manage ambition and prevent burnout.

Why do so many high performers end up exhausted and burned out? Mindset coach Sarah Robb has spent years working in this area, and says that unfortunately, many of us burn ourselves out, usually trying to prove we're good enough. At 26, Sarah had lost both her parents, in difficult circumstances. What she built afterwards became the foundation for how she now coaches high achievers, business owners, and ambitious women through burnout, imposter syndrome, and self-doubt - without losing their drive. In this episode: How to stop burnout without giving up ambition Why energy management matters more than time management The hidden reasons we hold onto limiting beliefs How to set boundaries and say no without guilt How to build self-compassion (not just self-love) Why presence, not productivity, is the antidote to overwhelm If you've ever felt successful on the outside but exhausted on the inside, this conversation is for you.
