Why High Performers Break Down (And How to Stop It)
Jennifer Watson looked like the definition of high performance: a university-level track star, a clinic owner by her 30s, a TEDx speaker, and transformational coach. But under the surface, she was exhausted, overwhelmed, and questioning everything.
In this raw and powerful episode, Jennifer opens up about the hidden cost of achievement and the lies we tell ourselves about what it means to be successful. From burnout and emotional shutdown to intuition, flow state, and what real leadership looks like in 2025—this conversation is packed with depth, truth, and permission to finally do things differently.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but something still doesn’t feel right… this one is for you.
