What if your exhaustion isn’t a personal weakness, but a sign you’re working in a system that quietly burns through its people - especially women? In this powerful conversation, Karen talks with Dr. Consuelo Grier, a mother and higher-ed leader whose life brought her to the edge of burnout and into the deeper truth of burn through: what happens when institutions use us up faster than we can restore ourselves.

Together they explore:

The crucial difference between burnout and burn through
How leaders can build rest into the structure of work
Simple, practical ways to protect your own rest before you’re in chronic depletion mode

Dr. Grier now knows her rest is necessary, sacred, and worth defending and in this episode she shares the hard-won rest wisdom that helped her reclaim a rhythm of rest in a burn-through culture.
