Fox 9 Good Day – A Conversation About High-Functioning Burnout

When Fox 9 Good Day asked me about burnout recently, I found myself thinking about those 30,000+ interviews I've conducted over the years. What struck me most wasn't the individual stories, but the pattern—so many high-achievers looking successful on paper but feeling completely disconnected from themselves inside.

What I love about conversations like this is how they normalize the experience of high-functioning burnout. You don't have to blow up your life to reclaim it. Sometimes it starts with something as simple as 15 minutes—maybe a morning walk, maybe just sitting quietly with your coffee before the world demands your attention. These micro-moves toward alignment can change everything, even when the big life decisions feel impossible. The 4 A's Framework from my book Shine Brighter—Awareness, Attitude, Action, Alignment—isn't about dramatic transformation. It's about recognizing you're not broken, just misaligned, and that you actually have more power than you think to create change.
