Burnout isn’t just stress—it’s a full-body, full-mind shutdown that too many high achievers mistake as “normal.” In this powerful conversation, keynote speaker Tara Renze sits down with Erin Stafford, author of The Type A Trap, to unpack the truth about burnout, hustle culture, overachievement, and what it really means to “burn bright without burning out.” Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in constant go-mode, or quietly asking yourself, “Is this it?”—this episode is for you.
Erin Stafford is a best-selling author, burnout survivor, high-performance strategist and Cambridge social psychologist. From working with the world’s highest achievers throughout her 20+ year international career, being a life-long Type A poster child herself, as well as interviewing and surveying thousands of Olympians, Fortune 100 leaders, and celebrities, Erin has seen firsthand how hustle culture and constant over-achievement are coveted in the world of business, yet can lead to debilitating burnout. As the former head of marketing for the nation’s largest healthcare staffing company, where she helped drive 27x growth in six years, Erin is passionate about helping leaders and teams be more resilient in the face of change, sustain peak performance and thrive again both personally and professionally.
