ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Liz Bakshi knows the burnout spiral from the inside. She was directing a foster care program in New York City when COVID hit — her toddler on the other side of the door while she managed crisis after crisis. Her story of slow-building burnout, the fear of making a change, and ultimately building a coaching practice from her lived experience will resonate deeply with any woman who has ever felt like she was holding everything together for everyone — except herself.

IN THIS EPISODE:

🔸 What burnout actually feels like from the inside — and why it builds slowly before it breaks open

🔸 What keeps working moms stuck: fear, negative self-talk & generational messages about "soldiering on"

🔸 Therapy vs. coaching — what’s the real difference, and how do you know which one you need?

🔸 Identity shifts that happen when you become a mother — and why we don’t talk about them enough

🔸 Real self-care for high-achieving women: micro habits that work (no bubble baths required)

🔸 Setting boundaries, asking for help, and why resentment builds when we don’t

🔸 The sandwich generation: navigating kids, aging parents, career — and still finding yourself

🔸 One small step you can take TODAY to start shifting things

Whether you’re a working mom running on empty, a woman on the edge of a big career change, or someone who’s been whispering “someday” to herself for years — this conversation is for you.
