Have you ever built a life that looked successful on the outside… but quietly felt unsustainable behind the scenes? Have you ever tied your worth to how much you could produce, achieve, or carry? Maybe deep down you question who you really are without the grind, scared that if you take a breath to slow down … you’ll lose momentum.
Today’s guest is Laura Higgins—entrepreneur, branding expert, and business owner who built a multi-million dollar company helping women grow their visibility, content, and personal brands online. From the outside, Laura had every marker of success: the business, the ambition, and the image of someone who had figured it all out.
But behind the scenes, the constant pressure to achieve, perform, and keep pushing eventually caught up with her
In this episode, we’re talking about burnout—but not just the trendy version we see online. We’re talking about the deeper layers underneath it: the identity built around overworking, the fear of slowing down, the pressure high-achieving women place on themselves to hold everything together, and the childhood patterns that can quietly shape our relationship with success.
Laura opens up about what burnout actually looked like in real time, the moment she realized the life she built was no longer sustainable, and how she’s had to redefine ambition, leadership, and worth outside of productivity.
This is Laura’s story.
