In this episode of the Changeology podcast, I talk with Nicky Lowe, award-winning executive coach, leadership development expert, and host of the Wisdom for Working Mums podcast.
Nicky shares her deeply personal story of burnout, what sustainable success actually looks like, and how high-achieving women actually CAN navigate work, motherhood, and well-being–without sacrificing their identity.
Nicky shares her experience of pushing through exhaustion until her body literally began to shut down, and offers an inspiring (if cautionary) reminder of the power of rest and tuning into our bodies.
If you're in a season of overwhelm or feeling the quiet nudge that something needs to change, this conversation will help you learn to pause, recalibrate, and rethink your definition of success.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
🌟 The somatic signals of burnout—and why your body often knows what’s up before your brain does
🌟 How high-achieving women fall into “toxic success” and what it really costs us
🌟 The concept of sustainable, feel-good success and how to create it (yes, it’s a thing!)
🌟 Practical non-negotiables (including NGAs: Non-Guilt Agreements) for working mothers and leaders
