Burnout, Boundaries, and Redefining Success in High-Pressure Jobs with Tanner Greenwalt / Ep 135

Burnout doesn’t just happen in therapy rooms or hospitals—it happens in boardrooms, loan offices, and anywhere women are expected to give endlessly without pause. In this episode, we’re joined by Tanner Greenwalt, a seasoned mortgage professional who is changing the way her industry views mental health and success. Tanner shares her personal journey through burnout, what recovery looked like, and how she learned to set boundaries in a profession that rarely encourages it. We also discuss what burnout really feels like (hint: it’s not just being tired), why slowing down is essential—not selfish—and how mental health should be the foundation of any meaningful definition of success. We talk about: What burnout really looks and feels like in high-pressure jobs The hidden emotional toll of careers in finance and service industries Tools for completing the stress cycle during your workday The lie that burnout is "just part of the job" Redefining success around mental health, joy, and sustainability Advice we’d give to our younger selves about boundaries and wellbeing Why wellness isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity Resources Mentioned: Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily and Amelia Nagoski Pique Your Interest Podcast by Tanner Greenwalt (Spotify + YouTube) Let’s connect and keep the conversation going!   The Ultimate Self Care Planner: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.ck.page/9e817ab37e   Elizabeth Harris, MS, RDN, LDN FB: Health and Healing with Intuitive Eating community https://www.facebook.com/groups/healthandhealingwithintuitiveeating Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ElizabethHarrisNutrition Free download to break up with diet culture: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.com/invisible-diet   Tara De Leon, Master Personal Trainer Email: [email protected] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tara_de_leon_fitness   Maria Winters, LCPC, NCC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coaching_therapist/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/MWcoachingtherapy Website: www.thecoachingtherapist.com Attend an Emotional Fitness Studio Class: https://thecoachingtherapist.com/emotional-fitness-studio/
