In this episode of Leadership from the Heart , Romie sits down with Elisha Meek —corporate professional turned entrepreneur, author, and fulfillment coach—to unpack a truth many high-achieving women are silently living: You can look successful on the outside… and still feel completely burned out on the inside. After 17 years in corporate and navigating her own burnout, Elisha shares how she redefined her relationship with work—without walking away from her career. This episode dives into the hidden reality of burnout, the identity trap many high performers fall into, and the powerful shift from over-functioning to living with intention, boundaries, and joy.
