Michelle E. Dickinson Part 2 | High Functioning, Quietly Depleted; Now What? | Ep62

We move from theory to application with Michelle E. Dickinson to expose the early signals of burnout, why high performers miss them, and how micro shifts restore energy and agency. We trade grind myths for practical recovery, the purposeful pause, and boundaries that stick.

• burnout as nervous system overload, not failure
• early markers hidden by high functioning
• myths that glorify overwork and self-neglect
• detachment, urges and state-driven behavior
• the purposeful pause and five-minute practices
• micro shifts for recovery and traction
• simple tracking to spot patterns
• prevention over crisis tactics
• sleep protection, boundaries and environment design
• preserving agency in demanding workplaces
• why smart people decide poorly when exhausted
• compassionate reframes that sustain change

Michelle E. Dickinson is a business advisor and executive coach helping leaders create success without sacrificing well-being.
