Calm on the Surface, Crumbling on the Inside: The Work-Life Burnout Women Don’t Talk About

Jun 6th, 2025 2:42 AM

Do you look like you’ve got it all together — but inside, your nervous system is screaming and you feel like you are a fingertip away from losing it?You’ve heard the duck metaphor: smooth and serene above water, paddling like hell below. This episode pulls back the curtain on the hidden anxiety of high-achieving women — the ones who check every wellness box but still feel disconnected, overwhelmed, and one breath away from burnout. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still feel off, this one’s for you.The Key Takeaways of this episode:How Survival Mode Can Wear a Super Suit: How perfectionism, people-pleasing, and performance-based worth quietly fuel anxiety even in the most “put-together” women.Why Wellness Without Soul is Just Another Task- (just checking boxes):Why clean eating, meditation, and yoga aren’t enough if they’re being used to outrun emotion instead of owning and regulate it.What Are the Subtle, and not so Subtle Signs of Survival Mode and How The Nervous System Doesn’t Lie: Signs you’re stuck in stress physiology even if your calendar says “self-care.”Unmet Needs Wear Many Masks and Pausing or Asking for Support is a Power Move, NOT a weakness: How suppressed emotions, inherited beliefs, and unmet needs show up as control, overthinking, irritability, or fatigue.  Giving yourself permission to pause and even get some support is empowering and helps you reconnect with yourself, with others and with what you need to thrive, not just survive.You don’t have to go through the motions and work so hard just to stay afloat!  You can switch off the autopilot and start living, doing and being intentional, showing up your best most present and purposeful self.  The first step is to pause, and reconnect with yourself, your why and the power inside of you to live a soul-aligned, empowered and purposeful life.  I am here to support you!Connect with Jen Tolo→  🌎 Website: https://jenniferwrentolo.comCheck out my NEW PERMISSION TO PAUSE Online Course Here👇🏼(4th Link)https://pillar.io/jenwrentolo Schedule a Complementary 30 minute EMPOWERMENT BREAKTHROUGH SESSION→  https://calendly.com/jen-351/empowerment-call-with-jen-30-min-ytFollow Jen Tolo on:Instagram@Jenwrentolo,  Linkedin @Jennifer-tolo-RN-MAFacebook @jenwrentoloNEW Affiliate Link:RCTIC coolers… the more affordable adventurers cooler.Get 10% off your first purchase.https://share.rticoutdoors.com/x/ev3zGOThe podcast helping multitasking, success-driven women learn how to stop people pleasing, overcome indecision through finding purpose & setting boundaries to beat burnout to finally find work life balance and become more present & empowered.#womenempowerment #multitasking #peoplepleasing #worklifebalance #settingboundaries #purpose #presence #successmindedwomen🔑 Key Takeaways from this episode:

From Burnout to Belly Laughs: The Power of Humor for Success-MInded Women with Comedian, Lynn Harris.

May 2nd, 2025 3:10 AM

Ever feel like life’s just one long to-do list with a soundtrack of sighs and “ugh”s? What if the secret to sanity, healing, and human connection is… comedy? Yep. Laughter might just be the soul's sneaky shortcut to freedom.In this feel-good and unexpectedly deep episode of Simple Awakenings, we're cracking open the power of comedy—yes, even the messy, awkward, snort-laugh kind. I’m joined by a guest who gets it: that sometimes the most sacred sound isn’t an om—it’s a belly laugh. Together, we explore why laughter truly is the best medicine, how to find it when life feels anything but funny, and why women—especially those of us juggling it all—desperately need to lighten up (without giving up our depth). If you’ve ever needed permission to laugh through the chaos, this one’s for you.🔑 In this episode, you will learn:WHY Laughter is medicine—and magic: Science backs it, your nervous system loves it, and your soul craves it. Humor is a natural reset button, especially in tough times.HOW humor is a spectrum, not a stand-up show: You don’t have to be the “funny one” to find joy in humor. From dry wit to goofy memes, comedy can be a powerful connector and a healing lens.Tips to train your brain to find the light: We'll share simple mindset shifts and habits that help you spot the absurd, reframe the heavy, and invite levity—even in the middle of a meltdown.How to NOT take yourself so seriously—it’s exhausting: Learn how to laugh at your own bloopers, ditch the perfectionist mask, and reconnect with the playful, soul-aligned part of you that knows how to giggle at life’s curveballs.Your soul is calling… it wants to laugh and play more.  This episode is a good place to start and we are here to connect with you and help you keep the lightness and laughter going, even by just opening the door to it in your life.Connect with Jen Tolo:  🌎 Website:https://jenniferwrentolo.comJoin my FREE Power in Now Masterclass-  https://jentolo-insider.myflodesk.com/powerinnow  Schedule a Complementary 30-minute EMPOWERMENT BREAKTHROUGH SESSION→  https://calendly.com/jen-351/empowerment-call-with-jen-30-min-ytFollow Jen Tolo on:Instagram@Jenwrentolo,  Linkedin @Jennifer-tolo-RN-MAFacebook @jenwrentoloAbout My Guest:Lynn Harris is a culture-shifting producer, award-winning journalist, and author/co-author of six books, whose comedy and campaigns for social justice and gender equity have changed laws and conversations from Capitol Hill to NASCAR.
