#21 Born to Overwork: The Hidden Identity Driving High-Achieving Women
You can manage your time, set your boundaries, take the holiday, and still find that you cannot switch off. In this episode, Dr Kristy unpacks why so many high-achievers keep overworking even when every external reason to slow down has gone.
Drawing on new research into what scientists call the “doer identity”, and the striking pattern of eldest daughters in senior leadership, she explains why rest can register as a threat to your nervous system, names the three identity profiles driving the behaviour, and shares three shifts to begin loosening the grip. This is not a time-management problem. It is an identity problem. And it is one you can work with, not against.
