Work Life Balance for Speech Pathologists: Mindful Time Management Tips for Therapists, Clinicians, & Private Practice Owners
151. Why High Achievers Overwork (Especially With ADHD)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Do you ever feel like every single task on your to-do list carries the emotional weight of a TED Talk, a board meeting, or a life-or-death emergency? Or when you technically have time to rest and your brain starts filling the space with more work, more pressure, more urgency?
In this episode, I’m breaking down why so many high-achieving women—especially those of us with ADHD—fall into patterns of overworking, overthinking, and making everything feel incredibly high stakes. We’re talking about the hidden payoffs behind perfectionism, the role identity plays in burnout, and why “working hard” can quietly become part of how we measure our worth.
What You’ll Learn
- 3 hidden "payoffs" that keep high achievers stuck in overworking patterns
- Why ADHD can intensify urgency, stress, perfectionism, and burnout cycles
- Coaching questions that helped me start breaking this pattern in my own life
- How to define “good enough” work without spiraling into guilt
- Simple guardrails that help prevent burnout before you hit the wall
If This Resonates:
If you’re exhausted from feeling like everything has to be done at maximum effort just to feel “safe” or successful, I can help.
This is exactly the kind of work I do inside my 1:1 coaching...helping ambitious women build sustainable success without constantly operating in stress, urgency, and burnout mode.
