It looks like holding it all together while quietly unraveling inside.In this episode, Renee sits down with therapist and nervous system–first mentor Ashley McDonald for a deep, honest conversation about the kind of burnout that hides behind ambition, perfectionism, and success. The kind where you’re still performing, still producing, still showing up, but your body and nervous system are waving red flags you can’t ignore anymore.They talk about how trauma and conditioning shape the way women build businesses, why pushing harder is often a survival response, and how values drift without us realizing it. This conversation is reflective, uncomfortable in the best way, and incredibly grounding for anyone who feels like they’re “fine” but knows something is off.Ashley also shares details about her upcoming retreat in Tulum, a five-day immersive experience designed to help high-achieving women step out of survival mode, reconnect with their values, and integrate real change that actually sticks.Mentioned:Ash's site and podcastWant to work with Renee?
