Thank you so much for tuning in to our latest Pick My Brain episode with the brilliant Chibs Okereke – what a conversation, right?

This session, High Achiever, Low Battery: The Hidden Burnout Equation, struck a nerve for so many of us. Burnout is often seen as just a byproduct of being “too busy,” but as Chibs revealed, it can run so much deeper — often rooted in the parts of our past we haven’t given ourselves permission to explore.

Here’s a quick recap of what we uncovered:

✅ Why burnout is often driven by unmet childhood needs, not just overwork
✅ How traits like perfectionism and people-pleasing are actually coping mechanisms
✅ The importance of reconnecting with your needs, emotions, and nervous system
✅ A powerful framework: Mindfulness for Strivers — practical, simple, transformative
✅ And a reminder that you are enough, without needing to earn your worth

Chibs gave us not just insights, but tools — small mindset shifts and practices we can start using today to break the cycle of burnout and find calm in our ambition.

If the conversation resonated with you, why not take a moment this week to pause, breathe, and check in with yourself? Ask: What do I need right now?
