Burnout, Boundaries & Self-Sabotage: Practical Tools for High-Achievers | Guest: Tamika Stewart

On Soul Sparks with Saima, licensed therapist, executive coach, and organizational strategist Tamika Stewart breaks down how burnout, weak boundaries, and self-sabotage quietly derail ambitious people—and what to do first. We cover early emotional, mental, and spiritual signs of burnout (beyond “just tired”), how to set micro-boundaries without guilt, why perfectionism and doom-scrolling are sabotage in disguise, and how leaders’ habits shape team culture. This is a direct, no-fluff conversation designed for founders, executives, and caregivers who need actionable steps to reclaim clarity, capacity, and courage—without overhauling their entire life overnight.

About the guest  :

Tamika Stewart is an executive coach, licensed therapist, and organizational strategist based in Wilmington, Delaware. She blends heart and strategy to help leaders dismantle unhelpful patterns, build psychological safety, and lead sustainably.

Key takeaways:

• Burnout isn’t “too much work”—it’s too much misaligned work; watch for irritability, numbness, brain-fog, decision fatigue, loss of creativity, and spiritual disconnection.

• Micro-boundaries beat all-or-nothing: short, kind language such as “I’m not available for that right now” reduces guilt and resentment.

• Reframe boundaries as care, not rejection; healthy people respect healthy limits.

• Track automatic negative thoughts and reframe them; coaching or therapy can accelerate this.

• Perfectionism + procrastination = self-sabotage. “Good enough to ship” often beats never launching.

• Beware short-term relief that kills long-term goals: binge-scrolling, overspending, overcommitting.

• Ask: “Is this protecting me or preventing me?” when you delay decisions.

• Leaders model culture: after-hours emails and “always-on” norms erode psychological safety, creativity, and retention.

• Simple starter practice: journal triggers and run a brief body scan to locate stress, then choose one first next step.

• If persistent low mood or uncontrollable crying lasts weeks, seek professional help promptly.
