Why Overachievers Burn Out and How to Break the Cycle

Have you ever felt like you’re giving 110% to work, family, and life—and still feel like it’s not enough? In this inspiring episode of the KimUnity Soulutions Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Faye McCray, a former health attorney turned media powerhouse and self-care advocate, to uncover the hidden costs of overachievement and how to break free from the burnout cycle.

We dive deep into:

🔥 The perfectionism trap and why overachievers struggle to say “no.”

🔥 Practical strategies for setting boundaries and reclaiming your time.

🔥 The power of storytelling to heal, lead, and create authentic connections.

🔥 Leadership redefined: Why vulnerability and empathy are critical to success. 🔥 Faye’s personal journey—from losing herself in work to creating space for her passion and family.

Faye doesn’t just share her story; she gives actionable advice for anyone ready to reclaim their energy, rediscover their identity, and build a career (and life) they truly love.
