In this episode of The Executive Exhale Podcast, I sit down with life and career coach Sophia Mikelionis, founder of Gearing Together, to talk about burnout, boundaries, and the permission to pivot when a role or culture is slowly shrinking you.

We unpack what it looks like to stop outsourcing your self worth to your resume, especially for high achieving women and first gen success stories carrying invisible pressure. Sophia shares practical micro habits that protect your energy in real time, including how to use your calendar, narrate workload, and set boundaries that actually stick without derailing your career.

If you are a leader who feels overtaxed, always on, and quietly wondering how long you can keep going like this, this conversation is your reminder that sustainable leadership starts with small choices and a return to self before the next rise.
