Burnout - Girl on Fire

Desvio de Trajetória by Helena Isabel Santos

Episode notes

What does burnout really feel like? What happens when you go from burning bright… to burning out?

In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode, I share the story of my two burnouts - what caused them, what I learned, and why healing isn’t linear. We talk about invisible stress, toxic leadership (even from other women), therapy, and what it means to find your voice again after being silenced.

I also share hard data: why women in leadership are burning out at higher rates, and how systemic pressures - not just workload - are driving so many of us to the edge.

This is the episode I wish I had heard years ago. If you’re feeling tired, numb, or unseen - this one is for you.
