Dr. Brittany McGeehan reveals why exhaustion isn’t caused by poor strategy but by hidden performance pressure — and how mastering your nervous system can give you back a full day’s worth of energy each week.

Most high-achieving women think their exhaustion is a strategy problem — if they could just plan better, delegate more, or add another system, the overwhelm would disappear. But depletion isn’t a productivity issue — it’s a performance issue.

In this episode, Dr. Brittany McGeehan breaks down how cognitive resources are finite, why even the most successful women are leaking energy every day, and how to reclaim capacity by mastering your nervous system instead of your calendar. You’ll learn:

• The real reason your brain won’t shut off at night
• How code-switching and over-functioning drain your power
• Why awareness (not more action) is the fastest path to freedom
