Victoria Minch is a burnout recovery specialist, former Silicon Valley executive, and founder of Silicon Valley Executive Academy.
Burnout has become an epidemic, especially among high achievers. But here's the thing - most people think the solution is to quit their job, move to a tropical island, or make some other radical external change. The problem? You take yourself with you. Victoria spent 25 years in Silicon Valley management before discovering that the key to lasting change isn't external, it's internal.
Expect to learn why psychology PhDs end up working in high-tech startups, the difference between stress and burnout that most people miss, why changing jobs won't fix burnout if you don't change yourself first, the physiological reasons why your body gets stuck in chronic stress mode, practical techniques to actually complete your stress cycle instead of letting it accumulate, how to build self-care practices that aren't just Instagram wellness culture BS, why relinquishing control is one of the most powerful moves a leader can make, what work-life harmony actually means and why balance is the wrong goal, and much more.
This conversation will challenge how you think about success, achievement, and what it actually takes to build a sustainable, fulfilling career.
